George Washington crossing the Delaware on Christmas Day. An event worthy of a giant painting.

Many Ukrainians were celebrating without heat or power after Russia launched a Christmas Day assault on the country’s energy infrastructure, an act that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned as “inhuman.”
“Today, Putin deliberately chose Christmas for an attack. What could be more inhuman,” Zelenskyy said in a post on X early Wednesday. "Every Russian massive strike takes time to prepare. It is never a spontaneous decision. It is a conscious choice not only of targets, but also of time and date."
Over 70 Russian missiles and more than a hundred drones targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, with Ukrainian forces successfully shooting down more than 50 missiles and a significant number of drones, Zelenskyy added in his post.
Zelenskyy also said that the “targeted attack” on the energy sector caused outages in several regions, including Kyiv, and emphasized that Russian forces “continue to fight for a blackout in Ukraine.”
“Russian evil will not break Ukraine and will not distort Christmas,” he said.
Russia's defense ministry confirmed the attacks.
“This morning, Russia's Armed Forces carried out a massive strike with long-range precision weapons and strike drones on critical energy infrastructure facilities in Ukraine that ensure the operation of the military-industrial complex," the ministry said in its daily briefing on Telegram.
“The strike’s objective was achieved. All facilities were hit,” it added.

One of the war mappers did refer to Ukrainian positions in Kursk as “ frozen potato fields of death” .
Many are buying the farm there.
Zelensky turned down offers of a cease fire and prisoner exchange.
He has not ceased grubbing for money though , full press there, that’s the true Zman, a greedy dwarf.
George Washington crossing the Delaware on Christmas Day. An event worthy of a giant painting.
“Yeah…but we win. Russia can’t beat a bunch of farmers.”
Farmers with a couple hundred of billions in arms from the Military Industrial Complex. Now they are bathing in their own blood as well as they can with missing limbs and being dead and all. At least the farmer should be happy since all the dead young men and civilians are re-fertilizing the soil.
Good point.
Did some Russian dude schtup your girlfriend?
Don’t confuse emotions with facts
Unbelievable. Stop with the comparison of Putin with George Washington.
And another one with the comparison. Unbelievable.
While that is a despicable move, Zelensky is hardly in a position to condemn someone for being *inhumane*.
Joe Biden’s FAILED foreign policy will be his legacy next to tampering with the US energy sector which trigger a double digit inflation rate. Biden and the left is a
TOXIC brand. Thanks Joe.
It so hurtful to the Zeepers when you point out their hypocrisy.
Washington attacked an unsuspecting Rall and his troops and in little time had scattered and divided them and ultimately won the battle. Only three Americans were killed and six wounded, while 22 Hessians were killed, with 98 wounded. During the battle Colonel Rall was mortally wounded, and died the next day. The Americans captured nearly 1,000 prisoners, and seized muskets, gunpowder, artillery pieces, and drums.
A great day for liberty.
You can’t blame the whole nation for the actions of the leader.
Not unless you want to share in the blame for commuting
the sentences of those death row animals that biden did.

Christmas is January 7th.
Shut up and get your history straight.
I wasn’t responding to you.
US did great against goat farmers.
Why all the comparisons?
Get out a history book. You are proving how smart you aren’t.
Merry Christmas to you also.
Hope you get a history book.
It’s not Orthodox Christmas…
I seem to Remember George Washington launching an attack on Christmas…
Sorry,
I was directing that comment elsewhere.
No, Russians rape every woman they can get their hands on. Unless they are drunk. Which means, most of the time.
Look at all you Ruskies coming out of the woodwork this morning. I know it’s not Christmas yet in the Motherland, but relax and have a cup of coffee. The civilized world is taking it easy today.
Toss another piece of rotten wood on the fire and eat a soggy potatoe. Sip some vodka and have some of бабушка‘s borscht.
