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.

And the Russians blamed someone else! They blamed the Germans for Katyn and they blamed the Ukrainians for Izyum.

Now it isn’t the Russians. It is one man: Putin

“Now it isn’t the Russians. It is one man: Putin.”

I didn’t know he had multiple personalities, and that they appear on TV, in print, and on blogs. Sybil must be jealous.

But, in a sense, you could be right: No one says or posts anything without Putin’s approval.

Insist that the Republican House defund Biden's war.

How would that help protect the Ukrainian people you are worried about? It would only allow the Russians to kill more of them.

You’re older than I had thought. You look maybe 30 in that picture, instead of the 11 or 12 I thought.

Every major DC corruption and political scandal of the last 6 years has ties to Ukraine.

Why are you trying to blame some foreign country and its citizens when every issue you listed comes directly from the Democrat party and the Democrats in the US government?

Are you trying to distract everyone from the real problem - Democrats and their deep state allies in the USA?

The longer the war lasts, the more people will die. Funding it makes it last longer.

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

There is plenty of gas in Europe, and oil prices are falling. Russian oil is selling for 30% less now than its peak price.

The only people who are going to be freezing to death are the Russian conscripts stuck in trenches in Ukraine.

Maybe you could sell your carved Bush pumpkins there?

Hey, that picture is registered. Did you get permission from the registered owner to post his work on a public forum? I assume you will be paying the owner the appropriate royalties.

Ah, nice try, son.

I told the story of Sparky years ago, long before you ever showed up on FR.

And I suppose that surrendering the entire country to Russia and having its population deported and dispersed to Siberia would be better?

The Ukrainians have already had that experience. Russians shipped hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to the Siberian forests where they froze to death in 1939 and 1940.

Ukrainians would rather die free than suffer Russian tyranny again.

“Ukrainians would rather die free than suffer Russian tyranny again.”

As would Poles, and Lithuanians, and Latvians, and Hungarians, and Czechs, and...well, you get the picture.

Those days when Russia had any ideas of expansion are long gone...

Do you realize that your belief was shown to be incorrect the day that Russia seized Crimea, and really shown to be idiotic when Russia invaded Ukraine in February.

Why did Russia try to annex parts of Ukraine in August if they did not have any "ideas of expansion"?

Try thinking, it makes life easier.
