What evidence do you have this was a suicide bomber? Do you have evidence of a culprit?

None. First thought was a “suicide” mission vs an explosive snuck onto a transport truck.

I would tend to suicide for the simple reason that someone must have seen the fuel tanks on the train and choose to trigger it where it would do max damage

Assuming you are being sarcastic here?
If not, how do you figure this would be a good thing? Instead of going to bed at night knowing that a few psychopaths have their fingers on the "end human civilization" button, we go to bed knowing that hundreds of psychopaths have their fingers on the "end human civilization" button...

Probably won't know for sure unless someone officially takes credit for the attack.

In late september one of these washed up, and it was suspected to be an explosive maritime drone developed by Ukraine. It is mentioned in SureLoss's article from the BBC.
The theory that the bridge was hit from below from the explosives expert seems to tie well with the damage seen in the photos.

I’m back to being super worried, like I was when the invasion first started. I had sort of stopped thinking of doomsday until just now again.

Hatred level for Russia has gone up tenfold today. Kyiv, Dnipro, Zaporazhia , Ternopil, Lvov and more all hit recently. Some brutal videos on Telegram right now and Russians cheering it on.
Disgusting

How will this Ever end? The only way I can see is when the genocidal maniac in charge stops breathing. Such a waste of inoccent life.
Also where has the UN been in all of this? Whats even the point of having the UN if its neutered and useless at times like this.

The CTSO, which is basically Russia's answer to NATO, sounds like it is completely falling apart. The members are a real who's who in the zoo.
Quote:
According to earlier reports, the exercises were set to involve army personnel from CSTO members Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, and focus on securing ceasefires. Observers from five further states, including Serbia, Syria and Uzbekistan, had also been invited.
The move by Bishkek is the latest indication that tensions may be simmering within the alliance, formed in the early 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Last month, Armenia skipped a two-week drill held by the collective in Kazakhstan, after criticizing the bloc for failing to openly side with it after large-scale fighting erupted on its border with non-member Azerbaijan in September.

Death, taxes, and people misunderstanding the role of the UN.
It's a place for dialogue, with the hope that dialogue will lead to understanding and peace. It's not a progressive world government that can smack countries that are out of line with Western ideals.
As for the CSTO, with friends like Russia, who needs enemies?

Looks like Belarus is about to join the war.
Quote:
LONDON, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Monday he had ordered troops to deploy with Russian forces near Ukraine in response to what he said was a clear threat to Belarus from Kyiv and its backers in the West.
The remarks from Lukashenko, who has held power in Belarus since 1994, indicate a potential further escalation of the war in Ukraine, possibly with a combined Russian-Belarus joint force in the north of Ukraine.

Feel for you man.
From what I’ve been reading on Reddit, Ukrainian resolve has never been stronger. This is like The Bombing of Britain and the indiscriminate V2 rocket bombing where the enemy thought they would destroy morale, but the exact opposite happened.
I believe in the complete Ukrainian victory. There is no other way.
