Lights Go Out in Ukraine as Russia Launches 'Massive' Strike
Newsmax ^ | October 22, 2022

Posted on 10/22/2022 11:04:01 AM PDT by Navy Patriot

Hundreds of thousands of people in central and western Ukraine woke up on Saturday to power outages and periodic bursts of gunfire, as Ukrainian air defense tried to shoot down drones and incoming missiles.

Russia has intensified its strikes on power stations, water supply systems and other key infrastructure across the country, the latest phase of the war as it nears the eight-month mark.

Ukraine's air force said in a statement Saturday that Russia had launched “a massive missile attack" targeting “critical infrastructure,” hours after air raid sirens blared across the country. It said that it had downed 18 out of 33 cruise missiles launched from air and sea.

Despite the obvious fact Ukraine has absolutely no air defense

How’d they shoot down 18 of 33 of the missiles

We are seeing more Europeans and Westerners openly speaking out about the United States.

❗️🇫🇷 France admitted that sabotage at Nord Stream was of American origin

Florian Filippo, leader of the French Patriots party and former MEP, said that the sabotage of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines demonstrated how far NATO can go in escalating the conflict around the Russian Federation.

In his opinion, the alliance is even ready to go for the use of nuclear weapons to give the “conflict a global character,” so that France must get out of this vicious circle.”

“Sabotage, probably of American origin, at Nord Stream showed what the NATO bloc is capable of. You need to be vigilant: this alliance is capable of the worst, up to the use of nuclear weapons under a false flag in order to give the conflict a global character, ”Reuters quotes him as saying.

From the picture of a building flattened in Kiev these appear to be , at least in part, to be cruise missiles with much larger warheads.

No way.
According to the West/UK/US/EU/NATO propaganda ridden media, Russia had no more missiles, etc.
They ran out of them back in March.

“Lights Go Out in Ukraine as Russia Launches ‘Massive’ Strike”

LOL! More hyped up headlines. 33 cruise missiles is not massive... especially when more than half of them were taken out. And these were not military strikes... they were terrorists attacks. None of the missiles were headed for high value military targets, only deliberately lobbed at civilian infrastructure, city-centers and power stations.

Typical personal revenge by Putin because he is a spoiled KGB brat that keeps getting his ego bruised. No honor in Putin... just finding ways to hurt Ukraine because he can. He only knows KGB style fear and panic. Burn down everything and indiscriminately kill anything that walks or crawls; women and children, the elderly and dogs. Force them into submission and to accept their fate.

Putin’s invasion was all about conquest, not liberation. But it has quickly degraded into a shameless display of childish petulance and throwing tantrums because the Ukraine peasants won’t let little ‘Vlad’ have his way... to rule over them.

It appears you are correct, Russia is using many Cruise Missiles.

I have seen Russian confirmation of that.

Cruise Missiles CAN deploy larger (by weight) warheads, and they are not immune to several types of anti aircraft weapons.

I see the lights are going out in Kherson, too. Why is the Russian army running away from Ukrainian “farmers and miners”? Could it because Putin’s soldiers are as fake and incompetent as the rest of Russia?

With the crop of evil bastards in charge, we’ll be lucky if they don’t practice on us.

Then you've got no worries, Bellagio, Newsmax is Russian Propaganda, 33 Cruise missiles are nothing, the American - NATO way of waging War on civilian infrastructure, city-centers and power stations, won't work for Russia, like it did for America and NATO in Serbia, and Ukraine won't be made Russian like Kosovo was made Terrorist Muslim.

All will be good for you and you can go right over to Ukraine and take point right alongside your Ukraine winners.

No worries, Russia will never increase bombing.

The Russia-UK news blackout in the US & BFF Canada is Epic, and has its effects, along side the total suppression and near arrest of any other transmitter of Live information or alternative assessments from the theater.

Astonishing how heavy the propaganda from the US Regime & Media Complex message-enforcers.

This is the Russian General in charge of the War on Ukraine, Sergey Surovikin repeating his Syrian policy of terrorizing civilians from the air.
