Russia Launches Massive Assault On Ukraine's Power Infrastructure
Radio Free Europe ^ | 3/22/24 | Radio Free Europe

Posted on 03/22/2024 3:20:57 AM PDT by hardspunned

Russia on March 22 launched a massive wave of strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, hitting the country's largest dam and severing a power line at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear plant while causing almost-complete blackouts in other parts of the country.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the assault involved 150 drones and missiles and appealed again to Ukraine's allies to speed up deliveries of critically needed ammunition and weapons systems.

It looks the spring offensive is about to begin. The Uke air defense appears to have been very degraded around the cities and critical infrastructure.

“A critical $60 billion military aid package from the United States”

That’s a lie. Only $15B would go to Ukraine. A critical aid package of $43B never leaves DC, never leaves the hands of the DC MIC oligarchs. We must get those critical profits to the MIC before the jig is up on this globalist/neocon misadventure.

The Russians did not hit the dam. Will Budanov and his CIA handlers take out the dam in a false flag PR operation? That’s about all the CIA and Ukes have left, terrorist PR stunts.

I’m surprised they didn’t do this in the beginning of the war.

Are we finally moving past rumors of war? Enough pussy footing around.

The glide bombs are launched by fighter bombers. The air defense provided by NATO that the Ukes HAD made this too dangerous for the Russians to attempt. Those air defenses have recently been so degraded that now Russian planes are able to range close enough to the front lines to launch these bombs with impunity. The fall of Avdiivka marked the time the loss of Uke air defense capability became critical.

The Russians have made a heck of a mess. My people tell me there is no power or water. These were all civilian targets, not military. The Russians are throwing missile after missile. Civilian casualties are rising.

The Russian government is made up of such nice people.

They have/had very good reasons to invade another country.

Destroying it’s infrastructure and killing its residences.

s/s.

The Russians went into Ukraine with 90,000 troops. It was an operation to drive the West to the negotiating table. The Ukes cried uncle and negotiated a deal. DC said screw that, look how weak they are. The Russians went into a defensive mode while they began to mobilize and to destroy the Uke military as DC pushed the incredibly stupid counteroffensive. When the Russians move this time it will be massively.

Ukraine can surrender at any time, but two days ago, Lindsey Graham told them to fight on.

Hey, Traitor/KGB-dupe, the US didn’t target Iraq’s, Libya’s, or Syria’s civilian infrastructure!

In the case of Iraq the Coalition Provisional Authority repeatedly rebuilt water, electrical, fuel, and oil pipeline infrastructure following Iraqi and AIQ repeated sabotage.

In 2011 Iraq’s electrical output was nearly double its highest KGB/Saddam era output.

Tell your GRU groomers to update their PowerPoint slides.

Do you have your DD-214? I do.

Libya was destroyed into an over decade long civil war.
So many dead there is no accurate count.

I’m sure all the dead in Iraq appreciate the increased electrical output.

In Syria we side with ISIS against Assad. Hundreds of thousands dead.

Anyway, shouldn’t you be on an Israel thread calling for the murder of every woman and child in Gaza?

Boy that number keeps changing from 200,000+ to 90k now
Soon it will be a boy scout patrol bring grandma food.

Russia is on what its third mobilization besides its normal yearly conscription?

Yup ole NATOs fault , if we had just let the Germans take Poland er ah Putin take Ukraine none of this would be happening and there would be “peace in our time”

So this latest missile and drone attach was just another “goodwill gesture”
Got it

Well, had you listened to me, you would have known 90,000 was the number that went in. Honest news about this situation has been available from the beginning. Of course none was to be found in the West.
