Ukraine Evacuates Civilians as Temperatures Drop

Ukraine is bracing for a brutal winter as Russian missile strikes have damaged nearly half of the country’s electrical grid, according to Kyiv, potentially leaving millions of people without heating while temperatures plummet.

As many as 10 million Ukrainians do not have power as a result of Russia’s bombardment, Ukrainian officials have warned, while rolling blackouts and water supply shortages have become commonplace across the country. In recently liberated Kherson, some people are now collecting wood for heat in lieu of a stable power supply.

Those days when Russia had any ideas of expansion are long gone and over with and things of the past as Russia has more than enough and then some on its plate to take care of. All they want is a quiet neighborhood without NATO or CIA manipulation and intervention.

Uh, I guess you missed Comrade Putin's musings about re-building the Soviet Union and extending his "protection" over ethnic Russians, no matter where they live, even Alaska.

Article by Vladimir Putin ”On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians“

Putin approves new foreign policy doctrine based on 'Russian World'

And oh yeah, just because a people may be ethnically Russian and speak Russian as a primary language, that doesn't mean that they want to live under Comrade Putin's iron fist.

I'm ethnically English and speak English, but I sure as heck don't want to live under British rule either.

This article is 💯 accurate, from a reputable source and here you are calling for censorship and banning? Maybe you should start your own forum for Neocons and globalists.

Ukraine exists solely as a laundromat for filthy lucre. It was carved into a country after the Berlin Wall fell, but never have its corrupt leaders been selected for their diplomatic skills. They are ciphers for the globalist regime

Yes, Ukrainians are “nazis” and Trump supporters are “white supremacists.” Democrats and Putinists play the same gaslighting games in pursuit of absolute power. Don’t be duped. Conservatives are better than that

Ukrainians are pikers in the corruption department. The Kremlin taught them the corrupt Soviet system. Russian corruption and influence is a far greater issue. In Europe, Africa, The middle East, etc. Are Ukrainians trying to nuke up Iran? I think not. Might want to wargame this one out, FRiend.

I remember when all the Uke roaches told me, here, directly, that Russia was incapable of taking out Ukraine’s power.

I guess they lied...again. Or are exceedingly moronic... again. Or maybe they’re all just mealy hunks of troll$**t.

Kinda like when they tell us Russia is losing - but their grid is 100% up.

Post the article. I am fine with that. It’s your (and your comrades) incessant support of the Russian dictator that I find reprehensible. You should be ashamed of yourself.

So, you are enthusiastic about the prospect of people freezing to death in their own homes because they defend against an invasion?

That’s simply in humane. You should go to church and beg forgiveness for being an animal without regard for innocent life.

I always get a kick out of people like you who for some reason believe you have a vested interest in tFR, beyond posting and commentating. Who exactly do you think you are, and why should anyone care what you're "fine" with? You're an insignificant contributor who adds little except wind. And who exactly supports Putin? Put up or shut up.

“You better get busy finding fire wood for the winter, foreigner.”

You’ve reformed! Just yesterday — or was it the day before? — you were saying you didn’t talk to foreigners. What brought about your conversion?

> world’s sixth-largest coal reserve, 90 percent of it in the Donbas region

Which the Russians occupied in 2014, at least in part to steal the coal and other mineral resources in that region. Russia still mostly holds it. Ukraine could use it back.
