A Russian missile strike on a Ukrainian train station killed at least 50 civilians and wounded another 98 Friday.
At least five of the dead and at least 16 of the injured were children, the leader of the Donetsk regional administration, Pavlo Kyrylenko, confirmed in a tweet.
The Kramatorsk railway station in eastern Ukraine was flooded with nearly 4,000 people, many of them elderly, women, and children, trying to escape to less war torn parts of the country at the time of the attack. Russia has been conducting a bloody invasion of Ukraine for nearly two months, inflicting a high civilian and military death toll and widespread destruction.

the foreground of the scene is awful, children toys, baby carriages, blood puddles...in the background upper right is what looks like a military green artillery/anti aircraft field piece. Was there outgoing fire before the incoming?

call me a jaded conspiracy theorist … but what screams more sense to you;
"Let's paint CHILDREN on this bomb and destroy ourselves in the eyes of public opinion"
OR
"Let's paint CHILDREN on this bomb and destroy them in the eyes of public opinion"

I guess the bidet family is looking for a bigger payout before they allow more help to flow to Ukraine. Perhaps huncher can set up a company with the Chinese to deliver aid to Ukraine following the clitton haiti model.
Of course Big Bidet himself killed 7 children and other innocents trying to get some quick PR for himself.

According to the article, the deaths were the result of a missile strike and given the placement of the blood, it would seem the people died in place, but there is no evidence on the bricks or the luggage that shrapnel caused the deaths; likewise, with the pristine surfaces of the luggage and bags, there is no evidence of burns from a fireball and finally, with the upright positions of the luggage and baby carriage, no evidence of overpressure from a blast wave. Maybe someone can explain it to me but the photo shows evidence of being staged.

A young college student friend escaped Kiev into the countryside just after the shelling started. She was able to stay with some friends for a few weeks, but finally she got on a train in west central Ukraine and managed to get to Poland, and then to Germany by train where she currently is staying. Huge percentages of these people do not have cars, so are entirely dependent on public transportation. Most Americans, accustomed to having their own car since their teen years, have no idea what it is like to be totally at the mercy of public transportation.....in a war. And even if you have a car, I am skeptical how much fuel would be available if you wanted to drive to Poland. You may be able to scrounge up a tank full, but when traveling, I doubt that fuel would be available.
Shelling a train station is pretty certainly an intentional attack on civilians. I saw a drone video of cars driving down a road in Ukraine, trying to escape the fighting. They see a dug in Russian tank and rapidly turn around to flee, but a burst of machine gun fire apparently disabled the car. The driver, a man, gets out and raises his hands high, walks sideways facing the tank. He is machinegunned by the tank crew.
Then Russian soldiers come out and drag off a surviving child and friend who was trying to escape with the family. The dead mother was in the car. The video identified who the people were, after the tank left and the bodies were recovered. Things like this are entirely inexcusable. No way a man 50 meters from a tank with hands in the air is a threat. Apparently the two survivors of the car were later released by the Russian troops, a tiny bit of good.

Is this in the Donetsk region? This is supposed to be one of the breakaway regions that is pro-Russian. Why would Russia be bombing them? This is supposed to be one of the regions in Ukraine that is supportive of Russia. Guess they aren't now. Who in their right mind would want to be part of an oppressive nation like Russia anyway?

Re #9, The Moscow Slavs have always, since the 1500s, IIRC, taken the view of their superiority over the Kievan Slavs. Basically they Moscow Russians feel that they OWN Ukraine, it is THEIR PROPERTY and that it was wrongfully separated from their control. Like an escaped slave, no pun intended on 'escaped slavs'.
This is the root of the problem, centuries of the Moscovy dukes taking the view the the Kievan dukes are their vassals. And as time has passed, and the last Czar was murdered and the Bolsheviks took over....this view of literal OWNERSHIP by what we now call "the Russians" of what we now call "the Ukrainians" has carried on. Putin has written about this, and the Russians see this as some sort of a historic right. Frankly, they are violently crazy.

Once you see the puppet strings, you can never unsee them. For those of you who have the courage to question, keep searching. And, stay in The Light.
