  1. The people who died in the train station in Ukraine, Left behind the whole life for nothing. RIP and deep condolences to people, women, men, family and soldiers who have sacrificed in this battle

    1. @Nobody Knows
      Gime any proof, I have ever proof you have 0 proof and only feeling , truth must be told

    2. @My Views No. You are saying it was decommissioned a decade ago. It was in production until 2019. Reconcile your statement to what you were just told.

    3. @My Views You’re the one with the Maskirovka buddy. Don’t go through life acting like you know something, because it’s not our job to disprove your negative hypotheses.

    1. @Gustave DeLior And despite being a tiny percentage, those evil people have a great deal of power over others lives.

    2. @Cinderball And those individuals who set up the events which resulted in Russia escalating this conflict.

    1. @Wer ists nonsense. We all know there’s excately one “source” saying that and it’s proven that they are lying the most of all.

  2. I propose to the USA, UK, Germany and others NATO countries, to send Ukraine, hundreds or preferably thousands of ATVs (All Terrains Vehicles) also referred to as 4 wheelers.

    Aโ€”- The US Marine Corp, and the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) purchased 2,050 Polaris during the past 4 years.
    Bโ€”- The Canadian Army is using 23 millions worth of the heavier Dagor, made by Polaris.
    Cโ€”- The British army is using the Yamaha civilian model and the Springer ATVs
    Dโ€”- The Australian Army use the Australian made Tomcat and the, e-ATV made in Australia.
    Eโ€”. The German Army use the Polaris MV860.
    Fโ€”- The Polish Army use some Honda, Artic Cat and Polaris.
    Gโ€” The Italian Army use the MTC 90.
    Hโ€” The Indian Army use the CFMOTO 800 cc
    Iโ€”- The Czech army are using the Gladiator X8.
    Ectโ€ฆ ectโ€ฆ.

    These armies purchased them for guerrilla warfare. Ukraine’s fields, bushes, trees, ditches are an ideal landscape for guerrilla warfare with 4 wheelers.

    In the context of the Ukrainian war, any ATV can be used, old, very old, new, small, high powered. Even the kidโ€™s 125 to 250 cc 4 wheelers would be better for the soldiers than being on foot. If you be a soldier, would you choose to walk 1, 3, 5 miles carrying a 50 pounds (23 kilo) Javelin, in the field or bushes or ride an old or a small 4 wheeler ??

    Part 2.
    1- Main usage.
    2- Make raiding parties of:
    a- 8 soldiers.
    b- 4 ATVs.
    c- One of the ATV would carry either a Javelin, Stinger, or another guided missile.
    d- The remaining 3 ATVs would be riding with AK-47 assault rifles, two RPG-7, ammunitions & other equipments.

    Part 3
    1– One thousand ATVs cost a tiny, fraction of a fighter jet. (8% of an F-35 )

    2- Thousands of brave Ukrainian soldiers are sheltered in basements, their main opportunity to fight the enemy is when they hear the rolling of Russian tanks. Give them the adequate low profile vehicle to go out there, sneak and shoot & kill.

    Part 4
    1– During WW2, light weight vehicles raids were made by the Long Range Desert Group of the British army, in the north Africain desert. They are the inspiration for the 1966 tv series Desert Rats.

    Part 5
    1– Additional use, equipmentโ€™s. One ATVs can carry supply for the raiding party, food, gas, water, missiles ectโ€ฆ.

    2– Another one can be equipped with a winch, folding loading ramps in order to cross a deep ditch, a chain saw, wire cutters.

    3– An ATV raiding party can hide in any of the millions of Ukrainian farmer’s barns, a place where the soldiers can also obtain overnight lodging or camping, gas, food, water as well as landscape tips from the farmer.

    Part 6
    1- It is evident, the army scouts, advance parties would be more efficient riding ATVs instead of being on foot.

    2โ€“ They can be used to escort any convoys.

    3- In some situations this will allow the Ukrainian soldier to sneak within 300 feet (100 meters) of the target and fire a 500$ RPG-7 rocket, instead of a 50,000$ heat seeking missile. The savings of firing one RPG-7 instead of a Javelin, can pay for cost of 7 ATVs.

    Part 8
    1– HOW TO CAPTURE A 6 MILLIONS DOLLARS RUSSIAN TANK (ammunitions included), instead of destroying it.

    2– In other words, make them an offer they can not refuse.

    3– Sneak up, circle the tank (as much as possible) half a mile away from the tank, with a 4 to 6 ATVs raiding party.

    4– The raiding party leader will raise a white flag, and ride to the tank or tanks.

    5– He will show the tank commander a photo of the raiding soldiers on their ATV and holding Javelins in their arms.

    6– He can ask his man to fire each a rifle shot (to prove to the Russians they are in fact surrounded)

    7– He will ask the Russians to surrender assuring nobody gets killed.

    The armies of the NATO countries should not keep their aging ATVs, in their junk warehouses for futures yard sales. Ukraine badly need them.

    If NATO sends a large quantity of 4 wheelers to Ukraine, I will give to Ukraine my own Yamaha ATV.

  3. I can’t believe my eyes. What’s wrong with these Russians?
    Condolences to families ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ™

    1. @Nobody Knows
      *USA staged Chemical attacks in Syria regime change* ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

    2. @My Views they posted on telegram they hit the Ukrainian military at the train station then removed the post after it was reported civilians were hit

    1. @Barry LaFleur
      Are you saying that NATO started this war and invaded Ukraine? That’s interesting…

    2. @Stefan Golubek I said no such thing, those are clearly quotes from south Africa’s leaders that are contrary to the comment I responded to.

    3. @Stefan Golubek They are not the only people with this opinion.

  4. Joe Biden once said “Brutality will never grind down the will to be free,Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia,for free people refuse to live in a world of hopelessness and darkness” ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ โค๏ธ

  5. Despite the horror of this attack I’m so impressed with the way the Ukranians are cleaning up and putting it right; restoring some sense of normality and order just days after this attack. It’s true; the Ukranians are a threat to Russia. They threaten their lies and warmungering with truth, peace and calm. Slava Ukrani.

    1. CNN fake news. The facts are:
      1) Railway station in Kramatorsk was hit by Tochka-U missile *from Ukrainian territory* due to placement of missile parts on the ground
      2) Russian army doesn’t have obsolete Tochka-U missiles at its service, *Ukrainian army has*.
      3) Russian army didn’t have any motivation for this hit, *Ukrainian army has a motivation* for people to stop evacuation and work as a human shield for Ukrainian army during the coming battle
      4) Italian journalist showed video with serial number of missile. This number confirms that *missile was manufactured in Ukraine*. Missile from the same batch hit Donetsk and killed civilians few weeks ago
      5) *Zelensky probably had an interest* to blame Russia for new ‘atrocities’ before visits of EU/Britain leaders to beg for more weapon & money

      It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven

  6. A whole nation of Ukraine’s future and the future of the young has been taken away. This is massive turning point in the worlds history. We’ll all going to need to make sacrifices to hold on to the librety of the free world but none as costly as Ukraine. ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’ชโœŒ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

  7. This is not not just another war for some reason this one is different, maybe because the coverage is so intense. I pray for UKRAINE every day but feel so helpless. SLAVA UKRAINI. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ™

    1. This war is different because for the first Time since we’ve had world wars we’re getting the very beginning of it in detail.

    2. It is also probably thanks to the fact that it feels like a direct mirror to many of our own countries in the West and the shared values we feel. We see ourselves in them more than we have in many decades and at a point when we have felt so divided, this has reminded us what is truly important and brought us back together again one step at a time.

  8. Every time I see videos like this it breaks my ๐Ÿ’” & makes me cry at just how soulless these russians are , this is murder plain & simple . . . Pootin needs to be stopped & the russian soldiers need to be stopped in every way possible .. This is an atrocity. ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ . . . . .๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿผ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿผ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿผ….โœŒ๐Ÿผโ˜ฎโœŒ๐Ÿผ& ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’•

  9. “For the children”, I hope that missile is being kept as genocide evidence! Those monsters, each and every one MUST be charged with murder, genocide and war crimes!! Despicable, deplorable, reprehensible, unconscionable and absolutely inhumane! The young man helping with getting refugees out & cleanup seems so very genuine and not full of hate, which would be very hard, not to. God bless Ukraine!

    1. @Nobody Knows have you seen serial number of tochka found in train station. & tochka that fall on donbas is Exactly same serial numbers

    2. โ€‹@Nobody Knows That’s the thing, the only thing I’m concerned about is veracity.

      Enjoy the “win”

  10. What’s most sickening to me in this attack is that these citizens were trying to LEAVE this conflict! They didn’t want to fight against the Russians, and they didn’t want to die! They just wanted to leave and live a peaceful life! How they could knowingly target a station full of innocents is disgusting!

    1. @Pat Doyle Do you know of any sites that might have a screen capture?
      I’ve seen it, but don’t have the ability on this borrowed PC to run anything to capture stuff, easily, and of course, did not realise at the time that it would be pulled down so quickly.

    2. @Pat Doyle You find the serial number from the missile here on youtube and you find the serial number from a missile in a video from 2015 here on youtube..See for yourself…

  11. The children thankfully still children.
    This phrase stands out about everything you need to know because those children will not forget.
    If they have been exposed to see any of the horrible images we see, what has become their small world now.
    They will live with it their whole life.
    My parents survivors of WWII in Amsterdam did.

    1. Hello ๐Ÿ‘‹ I hope youโ€™re safe over there? I hope this years brings happiness, love ๐Ÿ’• and prosperity all over the world ๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ•Š๐Ÿ•Š
      Iโ€™m Jefferson from Alabama, and you where are you from if I may ask?

  12. This is sad people running from war and die in train station. May they rest in God’s paradise. GLORY to Ukraine ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

    2. I voted for Trump to keep America strong and Ukraine safe. If you voted for Biden to make America weak again,this is all on you.

  13. My father had as Austrian to join the German army in WWII and they have been in Russia. He told me some times that he always avoided to be where many people or soldiers were on one place together. So he survived 3 years of this awful war.

  14. I’m told that this missile had multiple small bombs in it, which presumably explains why there is no large single crater, and why the missile shell apparently had a soft landing in the grass with no impact crater. Judging from the pattern on the walkway, this looks like a bomb designed to kill people with shrapnel rather than destroying buildings and rail structures. Why choose that weapon if you want to destroy a rail station to slow incoming fighters from Western Ukraine? Was this anything more than a terrorist bomb, designed to kill fleeing refugees? It would be nice to hear from an expert on how that bomb works and why it was chosen.

    1. It is a cluster bomb, and yes, it is an entirely antipersonnel weapon. It is fused to eject dozens of “bomblets” (think hand grenades, but a bit bigger) shortly before impacting the ground, scattering them over an area. Some of those have delayed fuses, to kill the rescue parties that rush in.

    2. Yes, it looks to be a Tochka – u with a cluster bomb payload. Rather than a single ‘bunker buster’ style of warhead. There are a number of small bomblets, a little like large grenades. The weapons is designed to cover a large area with shrapnel.

    3. Oh my god and I was just wondering why it and the spray painting was so intact and this answer is even more horrifying that I imagined.
