This may be a nitpick, but internally contradictory phrases like “11-year-old teenager” are flaws in the presentation.Zelensky promises response after at least 25 dead after Russian strike on Ukraine Independence Day
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday vowed to make Russia “bear responsibility” for a rocket attack levied against a Ukrainian train station in Chaplyne that killed 22 people during the country’s Independence Day.
“Chaplyne is our pain today,” Zelensky said in his evening address. “As of this moment, there are 22 dead, five of them burned in the car, an 11-year-old teenager died, a Russian missile destroyed his house.”
Zelensky had warned that Russia might step up its attacks on Wednesday during the holiday, which also marked six months since Russia invaded Ukraine, saying “something particularly cruel” might happen.
“Search and rescue operations at the railway station will continue,” Zelensky said in his evening address.
“We will definitely make the occupiers bear responsibility for everything they have done,” he continued. And we will certainly drive the invaders out of our land. Not a single stain of this evil will remain in our free Ukraine.”
Authorities in Kyiv banned large gatherings during Independence Day out of fear of Russian attacks.
Air raid sirens sounded during the day, and the population mostly laid low, but crowds gathered on a main street in the city to see a display of heavily damaged tanks, armored personnel carriers and rocket launchers.
“The occupier believed that in a few days he would be on parade in our capital’s downtown,” Zelensky said earlier on Wednesday in an address marking Independence Day.
“Today, you can see this ‘parade’ on Khreshchatyk,” Zelensky added. “The proof that enemy equipment can appear in the center of Kyiv only in such form. Burnt, wrecked and destroyed.”
President Biden marked Ukraine’s holiday, which celebrates the country’s independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, by pledging an additional roughly $3 billion security assistance package
The package, which includes six National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and laser-guided rocket systems, is the single largest U.S. assistance measure to Ukraine since Russia invaded in February.
“They have stood resolute and strong in the face of Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine. And today is not only a celebration of the past, but a resounding affirmation that Ukraine proudly remains — and will remain — a sovereign and independent nation,” Biden said on Wednesday.

The Russians can't develop something like this, most of the people who can do it have left the country. This like drones and cellphones are an example of modern civilian technology being adapted to war and in doing so changing the nature of war. A smartphone can detonate and IED, or a rail car full of ANFO using GPS, when it passed over a vital rail bridge and we all know the many things various drones can do. This app greatly increases the efficiency of artillery and allows commercial drone operators to call in artillery on things they see with their cheap little drones. It makes it easy for soldiers to call in fire on enemy targets, everybody is carrying a cellphone these days, though the wise will keep it switched off most of the time!

i really think the group claiming responsibility did it...the National Republican Army...
Dugin wouldn't have been the first target for Ukraine if they were going to kill someone close to putin. think about it, had you ever heard of him before this? lavrov, kadyrov...anyone on this chart would have been a much better target...

the death of his daughter, which was apparently a second choice, actually raised more notice within russia than if her father had gotten killed...he's not very popular in russia, while his daughter was on tv regularly.
sometimes the obvious choice is the right choice....

War at a turning point, Ukrainian military intelligence chief says
The tide of the full-scale Russian war against Ukraine is already turning, the head of Ukraine’s Military Intelligence Directorate (HUR), Kyrylo Budanov, said in a press release on Aug. 25.
War at a turning point, Ukrainian military intelligence chief says
According to Budanov, the Russians are starting to realize their army isn’t as mighty as they thought – and the same goes for their air defenses. They are beginning to accept that they won’t be able to hold on to occupied Ukrainian lands, he believes.
“Payback’s due,” the spy chief said, adding that the Russian army “isn’t the second best in the world, not even the fourth one.”
“The tide is turning against them,” he added.

Budanov said as early as June that August will be the pivotal month of the war, and suggested that fighting would virtually cease by the end of the year.

Unless these powers include having Superman on your side, I guess there is squat we can do about it unless we want to march out against their troops stationed there.
