President Volodymyr Zelensky has said 10 million Ukrainians are without power after a fresh wave of missile strikes by Russia.
At least seven people were killed in the strikes, with the number expected to rise.
"We are doing everything to normalize the supply," Mr Zelensky said in his nightly address.
Ukraine's air defence managed to shoot down six cruise missiles and five drones, he added.
On Thursday, Russia pounded Ukraine with a fresh missile barrage, hitting more energy installations and other civilian buildings less than two days after one of its heaviest bombardments yet.
Seven people died when a missile hit their apartment block in Vilnyansk, near the southern city of Zaporizhzhia, the Ukrainian presidency said.
A gas production plant in the east and a missile factory in Dnipro were among the latest targets, officials say.
Those suffering power outages are mainly in the capital, Kyiv, the western city of Vinnytsia, the port city of Odesa in the south-west and Sumy in the north-east.

7 in of snow and in the 20s in Kiev right now...
“On Thursday, Russia pounded Ukraine with a fresh missile barrage, hitting more energy installations and other civilian buildings less than two days after one of its heaviest bombardments yet. “
On Wednesday the Institute for the Study of War said Russia had expended all its precision weapons.
Showing they are not a think tank, but instead a wish palace.
Let’s send them more dollars so they can burn them for light.
Ukraine should return the favor. Why should they suffer alone?
Putin is no slouch at creating Russian enemies for decades to come.
You write that the ISW claimed Russia expended “all” its precision weapons on Wednesday. I took a look at both their twitter feed and official website for all messages on Wednesday. None of them claim Russia has “expanded all its precision weapons.”

So, did you just make this shit up, did you get your dates wrong, or what? If its the dates, can you post the newsletter or the tweet you are referencing? If you won’t do that, why won’t you do that?
Welcome to Kalifornia. Several times a year they purposely shut off the electricity to areas of high wind. They state they will eventually bury the transmission lines to avoid fires caused by high winds breaking the live transmission lines. But every year they announce more and more shutdowns. DemocRATS love to control the masses. (last time there was a heatwave they asked people not to charge their EVs. The same EVs they will mandate everyone have).
The amount of work to bury all the lines is staggering.
This without factoring costs, permits, and easements.
The high speed train will be completed first...
I am truly and deeply sorry for the people in Ukraine.
Let’s not forget we deliberately knocked out power in the FRY in 1999:

We even used this nifty thing: “Nato’s new weapon, a carbon-graphite bomb which sprays electrical power stations with a dust that sparks instant short circuits, was dropped early yesterday morning on five power plants across Serbia.”

You know, in all those lies you all been telling since March.....
‘Russia, Having ‘Run Out Of Missiles’, Launches Barrage On Ukraine’

Libya is still in a state of civil war from our 2011 bombing.
That's Moon Face of Alabama's headline. Out of all the links he cites, none of them from the Institute of War, only two come close to claiming Russia is out of missiles: the 1949 blog, with its story not matching its headline, and the shitty The Express tabloid.
And we know for a fact Russia is indeed running low on missiles as all other articles report because they're buying from Iran now:
https://www.reuters.com/world/exclusive-iran-agrees-ship-missiles-more-drones-russia-defying-west-sources-2022-10-18/
Lying since March and still lying as of today.....
So, who is lying and what is the lie?
It's not the ISW, as I've disproved that.
And the lie can't be "we're running out of missiles," because that's objectively true, otherwise there's no reason to buy from Iran.
So, what's the lie and who is lying? Do you know? And if you won't explain yourself, why won't you explain yourself?
Interesting how that guy seems so interested in defending the Neocon mouthpieces.
Yea, so what. What until tomorrow when the next wave hits Ukraine. 2x times in 72 hours. It is gonna be colder than hell in Z-land.
ISW is a CIA-MI6 lying machine and propaganda front, long has been given it is run by the Kagan family who have roots all the way back to the Maidan Coup.
