The drones were unleashed in the early hours of Monday as many people slept, hitting critical infrastructure in and around Kyiv in Moscow's third air attack on the Ukrainian capital in six days......As a result of the attack , critical infrastructure facilities were damaged,' Vitali Klitschko said.
Kyiv's mayor said no one had died or been wounded in the attacks. Hours later, Volodymyr Zelensky urged the leaders of northern European nations to ramp up the supply of air defence systems.

This infrastructure campaign seems to be turning into yet another Russia debacle. They have been firing for months now, yet the lights are still on.
It’s a good thing Ukraine is kicking Russia’s ass, or we would have to give them some serious aid instead of the chump change we’ve been giving them.
Not according to Zelensky.....
Ukraine will look like Detroit before it’s all over with.....................
nothing says “Christmas” like Russia attacking and bombing an innocent country
because Russia has “Christian values”

"As a result of the recent Russian missile attacks on the Ukrainian power grid, even more people are fleeing Ukraine. Europe expects hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees this winter due to the nation’s ruined cities. Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko may urge an evacuation of his city due to its failures to provide basic services to its population.
CNN reported a month ago that at least 30 percent of Ukrainian power stations are destroyed. BBC reports that six million Ukrainians are without power. EuroNews recently reported that two-thirds of Kiev is without power. An estimated 80 percent of Kiev is without water. News reports declare that Kiev is getting ready to survive without power, water and heating. Ukraine has evacuated cities that have become uninhabitable without heating or power. The World Health Organization warns millions of lives are “under threat” this winter.
Forbes Magazine reports that nearly half of Ukraine is without power. Newsweek reports that Ukraine's energy giant is running out of equipment to fix power outages. How long is the Ukrainian capital going to function without power?"

As an outsider, I have to wonder:
1. Were there electric exports going to countries surrounding Ukraine tha will feel the psychological and emotional and physical impacts of less energy?
2. Are the electricity levels equal to before or diminished significantly?
3. How is the supply of parts to fix the electric grid holding out?
4. How long can ukraine last as energy supplies are diminished?
Ukrainian citizens are innocent, but the leaders who sold them down the river for a mess of NATO pottage are guilty as heck. Yes, Christians should stand in defense of their countries and cultures against intolerable aggression.

I’m old enough to remember when Canada had Christian values.

If the claims that the Antonov factory was hit are accurate it is a very big deal.
I understand it looked like Detroit before this all started.
Zelenskyy has gone mad. It’s over. Go home.
