Victims have been in a car near the bomb truck that exploded, Russian authorities have said.

Bastrykin has said Russian citizens and several foreign states have helped prepare for the attack.

Russian officials have also said they have immediately started work to regulate damaged road segments.

Putin himself calls the war <x0 special military operation” to demilitarise Ukraine.

The West has responded to Russia, striking the economy of this state with severe sanctions.
