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.

You have zero understanding of history. Had you paid attention in tenth grade world history, the big guy, CNN and Fox wouldn’t be leading you around by the nose now. Too late for you Bucko, keep your head in the trough.

So what about the ppl living in the Donbas area? They’re Russian speaking and they’re staying there. Basically, if they live in western Ukraine, they fight for Ukraine. In eastern Ukraine they support Russia. That’s not “enthusiastic support” for a corrupt country with brutal nationalists in charge. And how do you know that Russians are deserting in greater numbers than Ukrainian soldiers? The voices in your head aren’t a credible source BTW.

So if both Russia and Ukraine have this missile, why are you so quick to believe Russia is the perpetrator?

Cause Russians initially reported they used a missile strike on railway stations in Donetsk.

Short clip from station showing at least 5 bodies. Oddly, the luggage around these bodies do not have a mark on them, or were even knocked over:

The way I see it, Russia missiles can strike anywhere in Ukraine they want. So why not hit a train station in Kiev, or anywhere in Western Ukraine, where there are virtually no ethnic Russians or Russian supporters? This one is another obvious no-brainer False Flag.

For the people claiming the Russians do not operate Tochka-U systems, they absolutely do. (photos)
The Russians are using ancient artifacts in Ukraine: T-72A, T-72AV, T-72B, 9A330 TLAR for original 9K330 Tor, Buk-M1 with 9M38M1 missiles, and yes, also Tochka-U.

So you admit you’re biased against Russia? You have no evidence but Russia automatically is the perpetrator. Gotcha. 🤡

You are completely missing the fact that 50% of Ukraine's army is composed of ethnic Russians, who on recordings are cursing out the Russian invaders. They are angry that Putin has brought war with misery, devastation, and death to their neighborhoods.

I still cannot believe this barbarism is happening.

As I have always believed, a weak American President is bad news for the US and pure poison for the rest of the world.

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's funny, you seem to have been not paying attention in ww2 history class, when we all learned the folly of trying to appease invaders.

Who invaded whom? Rooskies perpetrated this invasion into Ukraine. Thousands of Ukrainian civilians are getting killed, while no Russian civilians are getting killed.

If that’s true, then those majority Ukrainians voted for separation in 2014.

Do you mean the referendum held in the eastern half of Donbas under control of the Russian backed militias?

That’s the one.

Ukraine’s Oblast is not like American statehood; their country is not devolved so any referendum on independence or presidential election to change government has to include all eligible citizens in all Oblasts.

Because the Donbas referendum and the Crimean one both DELIBERATELY excluded over 80% of eligible voters they are legally nonbinding.

Some say the same rule disqualified Zelenskyy because the separatist regions couldn’t participate. That is plausible, but sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

If Zelenskyy is not legitimate, constitutionally, then neither is Russian supported independence or annexation.

I’m interested in the green grass on that photo. Ukraine’s climate is similar to the upper Midwest of the US, and there is no green grass popping like that around the areas of the upper Midwest that I have seen. But I’ve never been to Ukraine, so maybe so.

You said: “ The Ukraine resistance is also largely a civilian standing army handed weapons to shoot at Russian soldiers. As such most civilians are military targets.”
Josef Goebbels would be proud of your logic, Geneva conventions be damned.

Cui Bono? The position of the booster shows the route of the strike.

Only one side targets civilians trying to flee
Civilians are emerging to tell these stories

Only one side would tell or order civilians to gather at a military or militarized target in hopes they would shield the military, or be killed for propaganda

Waiting for an investigation whether Uke was using this rail line to send troops and weapons to the encircled eastern front

Only one side has killed 14,000 of its citizens since 2014 for refusing to accept the govt installed after the Maidan coup
