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.

Thank goodness we have never been lied to by the Ukrainians, your big guy or your media masters

I'm surprised you're not arguing the whole Putin invasion is staged, might as well, go all the way.

“It is a booster from the Ukrainian Tochka U. They fired hundreds into Donetsk and nearby Russian cities.”

Rooskies manufacture Tochka U missile too, and brought some into Ukraine. Or perhaps they captured a few from the Ukrainian forces. The Rooskies fired this Tochka U, to try and pin it on Ukrainian armies killing Ukrainians. Pathetic lying-ass Rooskie propaganda.

Rail transportation is not exactly a safe way to get around during a war. The movement of supplies, troop replenishment, fuel, etc...are the reason rail lines are primary targets.

The Ukraine resistance is also largely a civilian standing army handed weapons to shoot at Russian soldiers. As such most civilians are military targets.

Horrible yes. A tragedy yes. War creates tragedies on a massive scale. If war did not, everyone would be at war.

As for the facts in any situation I don't trust anyone. We still can't get a straight line of truth about what goes on in this country. The authorities in control have a complete content grip in reporting and legal process. The duty of a free press bound to report facts was scrapped long ago. It doesn't exist. Everything is propaganda from both sides of everything right down to what your kid is doing in the 2nd grade. We're all just pawns while the authoritarians play.

Zelensky’s right; if there are no consequences for this atrocity, more death and destruction will follow.

Worth checking but apparently Russian websites including some official military sources have ADMITTED that Russia fired these rockets.

Footage allegedly tracking them from launch to landing taken from multiple sources is also appearing.

If this does get confirmed it’ll constitute conclusive, incontrovertible evidence of Rusdian armed forces deliberately ordering and executing an airstrike targeting civilian infrastructure and people.

Even your media masters and your big guy’s propagandists are beginning to admit they jump the whale everyday. You people need to look up from the misinfo trough occasionally.

(Via NBC) – […] three U.S. officials told NBC News this week there is no evidence Russia has brought any chemical weapons near Ukraine. They said the U.S. released the [mis]information to deter Russia from using the banned munitions.

[…] Coordinated by the White House National Security Council, the unprecedented intelligence releases have been so frequent and voluminous, officials said, that intelligence agencies had to devote more staff members to work on the declassification process, scrubbing the [mis]information so it wouldn’t betray sources and methods.

[…] The idea is to pre-empt and disrupt the Kremlin’s tactics, complicate its military campaign, “undermine Moscow’s propaganda and prevent Russia from defining how the war is perceived in the world,” said a Western government official familiar with the strategy.

Multiple U.S. officials acknowledged that the U.S. has used [mis]information as a weapon even when confidence in the accuracy of the information wasn’t high. Sometimes it has used low-confidence intelligence for deterrent effect, as with chemical agents, and other times, as an official put it, the U.S. is just “trying to get inside Putin’s head.” (read more)

I would not call it "intact". Its just the back portion of the missile.

Pretty large portion

Pathetic lying-ass Rooskie propaganda.

Donetsk is majority Russian.

While 75% speak Russian in Donetsk, only 40% are Russians. Do not confuse language with ethnicity. The majority of Irish speak English. The majority in Donestks are Ukrainians.

Believe it or not, I figured that one out on my own a few weeks ago. I knew that this was to deter Rooskies from using chem weapons in Ukraine. So this was good propaganda.

Front is all gone, the explosive part, definitely not "intact".

fortunately the whole world has realized that there will be no appeasement of Putin.
***Maybe the world learnt the lesson of Sudetenland after all.

And they managed to fire it from the Ukrainian positions? Don’t be pathetic. Russia has nothing to gain from false flags like this, given the way the western media covers the conflict, whereas every atrocity is automatically pinned on Russia regardless the evidence.

LOL...yep, just like:

1. The media FRAMES Russia on ‘collusion’ with Trump
2. The media FRAMES Russia on Wikileaks (Hillary campaign emails)
3. The media FRAMES Russia on Hunter’s Laptop

Yep, I’m going to believe the media when it comes to Russia doing bad things. Yep.
