At least 39 dead including two children and 100 hurt as Russian missile hits Ukrainian railway station packed with hundreds of civilians trying to flee: President Zelensky condemns 'evil that has no limits' Ukraine's state railway company announced attack on Kramatorsk's station, a city in the east of the country The governor of Ukraine's Donesk region said later on Friday the death toll had risen to at least 39 people Pictures from outside the station showed bodies strewn across the ground. Some were in body bags

Other pictures showed wreckage of a missile with Russian text written on the side reading 'For (our) children' Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky took to Instagram to decry the attack, confirming the casualties

Russia's defence ministry denied the attack, and instead claimed Ukraine was attacking its own civilians Kramatorsk is found in the east of the country, about 80 miles west of Luhansk in the country's Donbas region

Ukrainian authorities have urged residents to flee west as Russia refocuses its military efforts in the country's eastern Donbas region after recently pulling its forces back from Kyiv WARNING: Graphic images

At least 39 people were killed - including two children - and over 100 were wounded in a Russian rocket strike on a railway station in east Ukraine today, as desperate civilians tried to evacuate to safer parts of the country.

My take is dead Ukrainians were left in place where they died. Fresh, intact luggage was placed to enhance the photo. To make the photo look more realistic, and that did indeed come from the train station. So a little white lie.

That has to be some of the most pathetic spin on this propaganda yet. Keep up the good work.

Key word: Russia said missle was intercepted. So it was not targeted at civilians

Russia is bombing the heck out of Ukraine, despite the media coverage, it’s not looking good for Ukraine.

Everything is propaganda from both sides of everything right down to what your kid is doing in the 2nd grade.

That's a common talking point these days. I wonder who thought it up?

If you actually believe that then you have to also believe that you don't really know anything about anything. You don't know who won the Superbowl, you don't know who a guy named Donald Trump is, because maybe he never was the President and you just believed the news that said he was.

And really you don't know if the 9/11 attack ever happened, of if the stories from people who claim to be victims of crimes are actually true or not. So you really can't comment on anything, since you don't know anything, including what your own kids are doing if you have any.

I suspect you actually know quite a bit, but are just repeating a talking point. Why is that?

Since then they’ve been subjected to 24/7 shelling from the UA which has caused approximately 14,000 deaths.

Thanks for identifying yourself as a Russian propagandist. That phrase is right off the Russian propaganda talking points, and demonstrably false.

It is true that about 14,000 people have died in the conflict started by the Russian supported and aligned militias in the Donbass. But most of them have been the combatants on both sides, and about half of the 14,000 were Ukrainians fighting against the separatists or the Russian army.

When shelling happens it goes both ways. It usually starts from the Russian side, and then the Ukrainians respond. You can look at the OSCE reports to see the daily tracking of shells and which side they came from.

Of course at this point the Russians invading Ukraine have mercilessly shelled civilians, even their Russian speaking brothers and sisters. Somehow for Russians killing tens of thousands of people equates to "protecting" them.

So why not hit a train station in Kiev, or anywhere in Western Ukraine, where there are virtually no ethnic Russians or Russian supporters?

I guess that is why the Russians have made sure not to damage anything or kill anyone in Mariupol, because it is full of ethnic Russians.

How does that fit in your "no-brainer" logic?

Only one side targets civilians trying to flee

That's the Russians, in case you didn't know.

Is that anything like baby milk factory?

Considering the lack of media honesty, I’ll wait until Mariupol is fully liberated to find out what was going on there.

“It is obsolete and pulled from Russian service as the Iskander arrived.”

Russians rarely throw anything away. You save the good stuff for more capable opponents. For random H&I against poorly-defended targets, anything with a booster and a warhead will suffice.

1) Zelansky consripted the entire population of Ukraine to fight against Russian troops. This makes them all non-civilians. It was a calculated move to increase civilian casualties for the good of the narrative

2) Train stations are conventional military targets usually with associated military presence.

3) This war will continue as long as Obama wants it too. (Z can’t negotiate anything because he can’t turn off the sanctions)

4) Closer to mid-terms the Dems will let the killing stop. Because by then they will realize that their plan to encourage and extend the war until Putin is deposed will not work. So they will pivot to getting a cease-fire in place around September so Biden and the Dems can be hailed as peacemakers in time for the mid-terms.

Joe is not in charge, it is all Obama people. Who do you think they work for? But to be fair, I used 'Obama' as shorthand for the WEF Oligarchy.

Gee, I wonder what Russian office you are working for. Other than Russians who thinks Mariupol needs liberating? It was a perfectly peaceful city until the Russians invaded Ukraine.
