Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned residents of the country on Monday to be “very frugal” with their electricity use as Russia continues perpetrating attacks on energy sources.

“Of course, energy workers, utility workers, rescuers and everyone involved are working at their maximum,” said Zelensky in his daily address.

“But the systemic damage to our energy sphere by the attacks of Russian terrorists is so significant that all our people and businesses should be very frugal and spread consumption by hours of the day.”

The president said that Ukrainians are using a higher level of electricity “than the country can provide at this time,” forcing energy workers to initiate unscheduled shutdowns.

I was before it started. This is Europe’s problem, not ours.

I’ve had my tag line for awhile.

Ukraine is just a punching bag between nato an Russia.

[EEGator]

I concur.
I would have thought that two wars for 21 years, as well as bombing Syria and Libya, would be enough for NeoCon warmongers…

Even russian propagandists admit strikes on civilians and utilities will not induce negotiations.

Too bad for Zelensky. For what I know it is the US pushing for the negotiations this time.

Waiting for the Daily Mail to ask Vladdy Zelensky how that crypto-currency investment with FTX is working out for Ukraine.

[Timber Rattler]

Maybe you should be sick of Comrade Putin instead. He’s the one attacking Ukraine.

Is Zelensky even in Ukraine, or is he in another country demanding more money?

[Hat-Trick]

Thank you. The ability to ask the question “After 80 years, when will Europe be able to stand on their own two feet” is something sorely lacking in all the politicized BS these days.

NATO? More like a proxy war between US and Russia.

Helps to read the news, but you may be one of those who doesn't believe anything.

Does Zelensky use the same green screen for his pics, or does he alternate them?

[Kazan]

Russia wouldn't be in Ukraine if he hadn't fomented a revolution that put Ukrainian nationalists and neo-Nazis in charge that persecuted the ethnic Russian population and made Ukraine a defacto NATO state and armed threat to Russia.

All you and your fellow neocons do is lie.
