It comes as Russia stages a huge military response to the bombing of the Kerch Bridge on Saturday, when a truck bomb exploded taking with it a huge chunk of the 12-mile road and rail link between Russia and its annexed territory, Crimea

A Russian missile strike hit critical infrastructure in a city 40 miles from NATO country Poland today.

Witnesses reported three explosions in the city shortly after noon local time (0900 GMT)

The blasts left 30 per cent of the town temporarily without electricity, according to the city's mayor Andriy Sadovyi who announced the news on Telegram.

He added that the water supply had also been disrupted in two of the city's districts.

The head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration, Maksym Kozytsky, noted on Telegram that an attack was carried out on a power facility in the Lviv region.

“Lviv and the Lviv region: possible power outages. Once the alarm is over, we will engage all services to quickly resume network operation. Stay in shelters, the threat is still ongoing," Kozytsky said.

Similar strikes had hit the same electricity supply centre on Monday.

City authorities said late on Monday that power had been largely restored in the region, but Ukrainian Deputy Interior Minister Yevheniy Yenin said some settlements in the region were still without electricity on Tuesday morning.

"Russia has said it want's a neutral, disarmed Ukraine, not aligned with the EU and not a part of NATO on her border."

So Russia want's Ukraine defenseless with no friends.

I wonder why Russia would want that. Not like they want to invade and control Ukraine. /s

30% of the electricity down in some town, mostly restored within 24 hours.

Sounds like a typical stormy day here in the US mid-South.

And also the ethnic Russians in the east will be able to retain their native language.

Yep, soon Ukraine will have missiles that can target Moscow, and Putin will have no one to blame for it but himself.

I’m sure you’re going to win a lot of fans by quoting a murderous Chechen terrorist lecturing to us about violence.

It makes perfect sense for Obama to do that so we could sell Ukraine our weapons and he could payoff the defense industry.

It was under Obama, we fomented a coup and started funding and training Ukrainian nationalists and neo-Nazis to exterminate the ethnic Russian population in eastern Ukraine after they rejected the government formed illegally after the Maiden revolution.

Russia has 18,000 precision long range rockets?

(30 days / month X 6 months X 100 rockets / day)

That’ll cost a pretty penny.

Yesterday the FR WWIII rah-rah squad assured us that the Russians were out of missiles and this was one time event. They still lap up the Western governments horse crap about this debacle as gospel from the Lord himself, when it is no more true than drivel the Russians and Ukrainians put out there.

You people are being played and it’s going to cost us dearly...

“Right now it looks like Ukraine has no chance of defeating Russia all the way to Moscow!”

Hey, easy to do when Uncle Sugar is paying the bills and giving you the weapons and munitions.

“With potentially hundreds of thousands of people dying, we must demand the immediate negotiation of the peaceful end to the war in Ukraine, or we will end up in World War III and there will be nothing left of our planet all because stupid people didn’t have a clue,” Trump told supporters Saturday”

Air Raid Sirens Sound Across Ukraine Today Amid New Missile StrikAir raid sirens are sounding across Ukraine, as the country is being rocked by missile strikes for the second consecutive day following an attack on the Kerch Bridge to Crimea.

Air raid sirens are sounding across Ukraine, as the country is being rocked by missile strikes for the second consecutive day following an attack on the Kerch Bridge to Crimea.

According to local news outlets, air alerts are sounding in Ukraine's capital Kyiv, and the Sumy, Kharkivska, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk, Donetsk, Vinnytsia, Mykolaivska, Odesa, Chernihivska, Zhytomyrska, Cherkasy, Khmelnytskyi, Chernivtsi, Volynska, Lvivskaya, Zakarpattia, Rivne, Ivano-Frankivsk and Kherson regions.

This comes after Russian strikes on Monday morning killed at least 19 people and injured 105, also disrupting electricity in several regions.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said the strikes were in retaliation for an explosion on a key bridge to the annexed Crimea Peninsula. Kyiv hasn't claimed responsibility for the attack.

On Tuesday, fresh blasts were reported in several regions, including Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaivska, Odesa and Vinnytsia.

Sergei Borzov, head of the regional administration in the Vinnytsia region, said two Iranian-made Shahed-136 kamikaze drones struck on Tuesday morning.

In the early hours of the morning, Russian troops launched another missile attack on the city of Zaporizhzhia, the head of the regional military administration, Alexander Starukh, said, noting that infrastructure facilities were targeted.

Anatoly Kurtev, the secretary of the Zaporizhzhia city council, said that a school, a hospital and residential buildings were damaged as a result of the Russian attack. He published images on his Telegram channel showing the destruction caused by the missile attack.

Other local officials reported power outages and fires in several Zaporizhzhia districts.

The city has been struck four times over the past week. According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, at least 43 people have died in Zaporizhzhia since October 3 as a result of the strikes.

Ukraine's Armed Forces shot down eight Shahed-136 kamikaze drones over the Mykolaiv and Odesa regions early on Tuesday morning, Operational Command Pivden said on Facebook.

Ukraine's Defense Ministry said on Twitter Monday that Russia's missile strikes on cities and civilian areas were an attempt to "compensate" for recent setbacks in Putin's flagging war.

Valerii Zaluzhnyi, commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said on Monday that Russia had launched 83 missiles, of which 45 were shot down by air defenses.

Explosions were reported in Kyiv, as well as in the southern Kharkiv region, where Ukraine conducted a successful counteroffensive in September, Dnipro in central Ukraine, Lviv, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Zhytomyr, a city in the Sumy region, Khmelnytskyi, Ternopil, Obukhiv, Kryvyi Rih, Poltava and Vinnytsia.

Some of the blasts were the work of Ukraine's air defenses, Ukrainian authorities said.

"You just don't get it do you—your terrorist strikes only make us stronger. We are coming after you," the ministry tweeted.

As many as 301 settlements in Kyiv, Lviv, Sumy, Ternopil and Khmelnytskyi remain without power as a result of Monday's strikes, Ukrinform reported.

Newsweek has contacted Russia's foreign ministry for comment

“What about the fact that Ukraine has no chance of defeating Russia don’t you understand?”

There is a big difference between stopping an invasion and defeating Russia. Ukraine will never invade Russia. Russia very well may get kicked out of Ukraine. Not the same as defeating Russia.

Turkey does not border Russia, except via the Black Sea, where they are separated by considerable International waters. But, Norway, Latvia, Estonia, via Kalingrad Lithuania & Poland, and, pushed there by Russia, Finland, border Russia.

“Russia has said it want’s a neutral, disarmed Ukraine, not aligned with the EU and not a part of NATO on her border.”

First of all, it’s not Russia that is saying anything. It is Putin. And Putin says a lot of things. And no one can count on any of it being true.
