The mayor of Kramatorsk (click here) says that a Russian missile strike on a train station full of evacuees killed at least 30 people and wounded 100 more, but these are just preliminary numbers. CNN's Christiane Amanpour reports.
Christiane Amanpour is brilliantly detailed. This was not a drone strike. The attack was carried out from Russian intelligence to know where within the train station (out of view of a drone) the refugees were gathered. This was an attack carried out no differently from Mariupol from Russian intelligence maps.
The conventional Russian military is a Third World military. The only aspect of their military force are missiles from boats. The ability of AI and/or simply GPS to provide accuracy in the missle strikes is the only aspect of the attack into Ukraine that heralds attention.
There is no accurate assessment possible of Russia's nuclear capacity, but, as demonstrated at Chernobyl there is sincere doubt regarding it's' competency of warheads even if launched with accurate missiles.
It is easy to over come Russia's military in that Western militaries are currently surpassing any conventional Russian military offensive. Not that there aren't casualities of war, but, the overall war will never be Russia's capacity.
Russia boasts a lot about using it's nuclear weapons and Putin chronically conducts brinkmanship in diplomatic efforts, but, it's sincere warhead competency is in question. I have stated frequently with every nuclear accident that occurs within Russian nuclear science that their brain trust is primarily gone. Who is teaching the next generation of nuclear scientists in Russia? Those teachers were most probably used for nuclear research as the researchers died off due to accidents. And they died themselves due to additional nuclear test accidents.
The IAEA must assess the entire Russian competency in nuclear capacity to bring this disaster of a Third World country into compliance and quite possibly seek to end the program. Believe me with all the nuclear accidents and the crude handling of Chernobyl, no one wants to be conquering the country. No one in their right mind wants to live there.
But, as to Ukraine, it needs to be brought up to speed militarily to match it's EU status and neighbors. No matter how much Ukraine sincerely wants to be neutral, it is all too obvious those aspirations are no longer realistic. When Ukraine is brought up to First World standards, it will have the national security it needs. It doesn't have to be a part of NATO and that is why it's mlitary strength and competency has to surpass that of Russia and Belarus.
Right now Belarus has kidnapped two nuclear lab scientists as well as all the contents of the lab. No one cn doubt the nuclera ambitions of Belarus now. Belarus is hoping the plunder of war will result in supremacy in the region. Russia needs to be wary of it's Belarus ally more so than Ukriane.

Russian soldiers wrote a message (click here) of revenge on the missile that killed at least 39 people - including four children - and wounded 87 when two strikes hit a railway station in east Ukraine today, as thousands of desperate evacuees tried reach safer parts of the country.
Graphic pictures on Friday from Kramatorsk showed bodies strewn across the floor, lying amongst luggage and children's prams outside the city's busy station. Some had already been put into green body bags, while other photos showed smoke rising from the building as firefighters rushed to the scene.
The wreckage of a large missile was left lying on the grass outside the station. White Russian text was shown written down the side of its casing, which read: 'For (our) Children' - a revenge message from the pro-Moscow soldiers that launched it. It is believed to be the result of Russian propaganda brainwashing troops into believing Ukraine is carrying out atrocities in the east of the country....
There is no way of ending this without a military sophistication and power of Ukriane. Russia only fears Ukraine strength because Russia is still successful in killing them. That has to shift and Ukraine be respected in brinkmanship within diplomacy. Ukraine must be stronger than Russia with a greater resolve and unafraid to be that bold country.
Recently, India stayed out of the vote to suspecd Russia from the UN Human Rights Council (click here). The reason it abstained is because of it's neighborhood and proximity to Russia. Ukraine cannot afford to be neutral any longer. Russia does not value human rights and was only a member of that council for propaganda purposes and as a veto vote. Russia being suspended protects the human rights council integrity but is not valued as a reason to reflect on the decision. For Russia, the world is wrong and only Russia is correct. Putin is demoninc in this world. There is no being neurtal anymore.
The film below is more of Russia's Third World carnage at Bucha. Putin's Russia is a problem and the global community only hears from him and not any of those that oppose him. Putin has set up a mind-set in Russia's policy of extradiction or should I say lack of it. The Russian commanders/generals that are authorizing the killing sit comfortably behind Russian borders realizing they are safe from extradition to the World Court. Why worry about "world order" when Russia is exempt from it?
