Ukraine war: 10 million without power after Russian strikes
BBC ^ | 11-17-22 | Catherine Byaruhanga in Kyiv & James FitzGerald

Posted on 11/17/2022 6:41:37 PM PST by dynachrome

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.

Culminating in the supreme BS a day or so ago with the “Russia hit Poland” wet dream wish for WWIII.

Not even this helps you, as your position is that a massive conspiracy has corrupted and controlled all the news and every government in the world. If that were the case, we'd be in WW3 right now, because the mainstream position would be that Russia deliberately struck Poland (which was never the headline to begin with).

Let’s not forget we deliberately knocked out power in the FRY in 1999:

In the middle of winter with the deliberate hope that people will freeze to death? Enough of this bullshit.

Will sit back as more lies will undoubtedly be pumped by you and your cohorts in the very near future.

Do you think Ukraine’s will deliberately bomb Poland again?

I don't think they ever have. Go back and read about the Tomahawk failure rate we suffered in the 2003 Iraq war. None of this stuff is 100%, and I'd expect the Russian built stuff to be worse than ours at always going where it should.

Forbes

In recent years, several errant Syrian S-200 surface-to-air (SAM) missiles missed their airborne targets and landed in other countries. Damascus frequently fires off these antiquated missiles at Israeli fighter jets attacking Iran-related targets throughout the country. These hopelessly outdated S-200s have failed to deter or disrupt Israel's air campaign .

On the morning of Apr. 22, 2021, a Syrian S-200 fired in response to Israeli airstrikes once again failed to hit any Israeli aircraft or missiles and went on to penetrate Israeli airspace, reaching the Negev desert in southern Israel. Israeli air defenses failed to intercept the errant SAM, which detonated over the village of Ashalim approximately 125 miles south of Syria.

Did you give one shat as thousands and tens of thousands people/civilians suffered at US and/or NATO bombings in Libya, Iraq x2, Afghanistan, Syria, Vietnam, etc., etc., etc.?

Perhaps it is you that need to end the hypocritical, fake rage bullshit!

Legitimate possibility that ZelenskyyIdiot does indeed utterly fail at false flags.

And if you won't explain yourself, why won't you explain yourself?

Russian propaganda posters don't answer questions. That is apparently a rule from their bosses.

Will sit back as more lies

Note: This is pure projection as just a simple reading of your own posting history will show you've been giving false information and predictions since the war started, which, according to your own sources like Scott Ritter, should have ended within a week or two.

When your record is objectively 100% false and destructive for 8 straight months, it's no wonder you're obsessed with trying to prove your opponents are just as bad as you.

Ukraine has no ability to return the favor.

Are you saying that Darya Dugina was not killed by a Ukrainian special services bomber?

“When your record is objectively 100% false and destructive for 8 straight months...”

Yeah, I know right?

And still proving how you and your cohorts are and will always be propaganda peddlers. Go figure huh?

"I'm a Communist who embraces the extreme left narrative of the USA committing war crimes across the world, and so therefore this makes it OK for Russia to target civilians in Ukraine, which I actively joke about and support."

Fixed your post for you, vatnik. I translated it from Vatnik-lingo to the real world equivalent.

Why do you assume this? Ukraine has S-300 missiles that can reach Moscow. They should use them.

Your "source" is a CIA and State Department operative. Are you always so ready to believe and repeat propaganda?

You do remember him arguing against the outing of Valerie Plame don't you? A great episode of deep state fakery.

You cited Larry Johnson, famous for hoaxes and faked evidence. Why don’t you supply some real evidence, not the opinion of a CIA faker?
