Russia did not destroy all communication infrastructure and networks. The internet remained operational in most parts of Ukraine. Cell phone towers and power grids were not targeted and destroyed. The lights stayed on in the cities and towns, including Lviv and Kiev. Civilian fuel depots and oil refinery plants were left largely unmolested.

Russia has systematically destroyed the civilian infrastructure in Eastern Ukraine, including electricity, communications, water, gasoline, even hospitals. Every time Ukrainians have announced the creation of new hospitals, missiles have hit them shortly thereafter. Most Eastern cities no longer have basic infrastructure.

In the West, Russia has lobbed missiles at civilian targets and infrastructure, claiming "tanks were there", even when reporters were on the scene to document damage with absolutely no tanks or other military targets destroyed.

Ukrainians in the East can still communicate--or at least some of them--thanks to satellite internet and phone systems.

Russian did indeed attempt to launch large scale cyberattacks, which apparently had help from the Chinese, but they failed because Russian claims of having the capability to turn off the lights, anywhere at anytime, was simply a bunch of BS.

That is also the reason why we have not faced any largescale blackouts or refinery disruptions in the West, because they simply lacked the capability to do it. Apparently they blew their chance with that pipeline ransomware attack some months before the actual war.

That is absurd and untrue other than in Mariupol, where the Russians had to rid the area of neo-Nazi Azov regiment. Thank God they did.

Most of the fighting on the ground is being done by the DPR and LRP. They are liberating their own land in coordination with the Russians. Thus, they are being careful not keep as much infrastructure in tact as the can. The Russians are being welcomed as liberators and won't be if they were tearing apart the infrastructure.

In fact, the locals in all the areas the Russians now control despise the Ukrainian army and neo-Nazis because they were using civilians as human shields and killing them if they tried to escape.

Ukraine repeatedly has been targeting civilians in Donetsk in recent days in acts that can't be considered anything less than war crimes.

You're a Russophobe that constantly believes the lies of the Biden regime and coming out of UK...Putin is dead, has thyroid, stomach and blood cancer...Russia will run out of ammo by mid-March, etc. Lies, lies and more lies by a regime that does nothing but lie.
