As CBS2's Dick Brennan reports, those others included the people killed in a Russian rocket attack on a train station in the small town of Chaplyn. Five passenger rail cars were hit.As air raid sirens wailed across Ukraine, marking six months of combat with Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said,"This is our life every day. This attack is how Russia prepared for this United Nations meeting." Zelenskyy, speaking to the Security Council on Wednesday, urged more support.
"Ukraine has a lot of indigenous support from American people, who see this as a very clear case of people just fighting to protect themselves from this really monstrous invasion," said Adrian Karatnycky, a senior fellow with the Atlantic Council.
