Vitali Klitschko’s plea to West: ‘Send blankets and generators or we’ll freeze to death’
The Telegraph ^ | 10/29/22 | Joe Barnes

Posted on 10/29/2022 6:00:15 PM PDT by JonPreston

The 51-year-old mayor of Kyiv, and former heavyweight boxing champion of the world, told The Telegraph that increasing Russian attacks on power plants have left his country on the brink of a fresh humanitarian crisis.

“We are doing everything we can do to save the lives of our people and to protect them,” he said, banging his huge fists on the table.

“But this winter will definitely be a huge challenge for us.”

In little over a fortnight, Moscow’s strikes on power stations and the wider grid have left the country grappling with outages and questioning whether the system will survive the harsh winter months.

“Vitali Klitschko’s plea to West: ‘Send blankets and generators or we’ll freeze to death’”

I don’t know about blankets, but I was trying to buy a generator this morning at Sam’s, no joy - only one model left, and I couldn’t use that size (too small), so I guess the airlift is now under way - sorry, I meant chip shortage, yea, that’s it.

One thing they will have to deal with there is the voltage - but they’ll figure that out soon enough, after they arrive.

“Where the hell did all that money go?”

Did you see the mansion where Pelosi’s husband got the crap beat out of him?

“Heck, we’ve got dozens of afghans around here that I’d love to get rid of (my wife really likes to crochet).”

As bad as the Azovs are, I’d prefer them to the Afghans.

I’m going to pick up another small generator this week if they’re available. I need something small and quiet.

The calls for Zelensky’s ouster are growing, read the Ukie social media posts. This “ Slobo Ukraine “ thingy is fine and dandy in Hollywood movies, but in reality defiance down to the last Ukie seals their fate as a nation. Zelensky has turned Ukraine into a huge unsustainable welfare nation.

Ukraine 1991-2023 RIP

We should mind our own business. Let Germany have the Sudetenland.

I can't speak for 90% of it, but I'm pretty sure the big guy got 10%.

True. If there were any large-A Afghans around my place, I’d sure want to send them to Ukraine, or anywhere far away. Fortunately, there aren’t.

If I was a Ukrainian who left the country - I’d find work where I was at and start a new life away from Ukraine. People who go back are going to be suffering for a very long time.

Since he’s asking for blankets and generators - likely the generators are for governmnt offices to police.

Different times. We have learnt lessons from the past mistakes. Not everyone is a Nazi.
