At least 22 people have been killed and 50 wounded in a Russian rocket strike on a Ukrainian railway station, as the country marked six months since Moscow’s invasion on a sombre independence day overshadowed by warnings of further “brutal” attacks.

Addressing the UN late on Wednesday, Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said the rockets struck a train in a station in the town of Chaplyne, about 145km (90 miles) west of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.

“Rescuers are working, but, unfortunately, the death toll could increase,” Zelenskiy said.

An 11-year-old child died in the attack, said Kirill Timoshenko, deputy head of Ukraine’s presidential administration, in a message on his Telegram channel.

5. It is but those assholes don't care

by "assholes" I mean the Kremlin and the military command. They wanted casualties in retaliation for Dugina, something it isn't at all clear Ukrainian forces had anything to do with.

Ukrainian Independednce Day celebrations were low key this year. They did finally get those Russian tanks into Kiev, apparently there's a week long display before someone loads them onto flat cars and sells them for scrap.
