Russia destroyed the largest power-generating plant in Ukraine’s Kyiv region in a missile attack on Thursday, as President Volodomyr Zelensky accused the West of “turning a blind eye” to his country’s need for more air defenses.
Ukraine’s Air Force said it shot down 18 of the incoming missiles and 39 of the drones. Russia fired 82 missiles and drones in total, including six hypersonic Kinzhal missiles – none of which Ukraine’s air defenses were able to down.

Ukraine needs to take out all of Russia oil refiners
Yes, take them all out to a fine restaurant, wine them, dine them and bribe them. Now, if only they could get that $60B dollars.
we’re still shooting down 100% of Russian missiles.
Russia ran out of missiles in 2022.
Putin ‘running out of missiles’ amid claims quarter of Russian Army now lost: Kremlin loses momentum in DonbasMichiel Willems
May 6, 2022Vladimir Putin could be running out of missiles and armaments because of how much his forces have had to fire during the Ukraine war so far, according to the head of Britain’s Armed Forces.
LOL! No, all that did was say the US would talk with the others, and absolutely nothing more.

Last days of TWO drugged up Nazis?
“You do realize that Russia, if it wanted to, could take out the entire electric grid in Ukraine? The Russians could render Ukraine inhabitable and will if there continue to be attacks on their infrastructure.”
So you are admitting that you Russians are in fact bullies who hate it when someone dares to swing back and gives you a fat lip?
Ukraine and its war is what is hurting the world economy. Stupid boycotts and monies going to blow up expensive infrastructure, buildings, and lives.
I’m fine with killing absolutely all men across Ukraine and having all women become Russians, to meet your dream of keeping the fight going to the last Ukrainian male, though, so you have my support.
But it’s pretty disgusting to watch Freepers root for a former KGB officer who has his political opponents murdered.
It's disgusting to see a comedian get elected, get his country destroyed by being an ass, serve out his term, and declare martial law, cancel elections, and remain in office to oversee the destruction of his country. And, come to think of it, Elensky has no political opponents. He banned all political opposition because... Democracy.
Did you miss the part where I said there are no good guys in this fight?
I spelled it out pretty clearly.
L
Since Russia seems incapable of scratching the Ukrainian military, it now doubles down on Ukrainian civilians instead. Aiming at the power-grid, hospitals, schools...
Easy targets. It shows Russia’s true “Christian values”... attacking exclusively civilians ...
May God have no mercy on the Kremlin’s deep-state elections-stealers.
Where are we going to start the war?
I caught what you did very clearly. You apparently understood my post as well.
“I caught what you did very clearly.”
Apparently not.
L
France can’t defend itself, but they’re the Calvary? LOL
“Unless the US decides to provide supplies and ammunition to Ukraine now it will be US soldiers fighting against Russia in the future.”
That’s been the goal all along. That’s the only way Ukraine can “win”, if we do it for them.
“Elensky has no political opponents. He banned all political opposition because... Democracy.”
How many political opponents does your boi Putin have again?

Unlike dictatorial Ukraine, opposition parties have not been banned,
Opposition to Vladimir Putin in RussiaOpposition to the government of President Vladimir Putin in Russia, commonly referred to as the Russian opposition, can be divided between the parliamentary opposition parties in the State Duma and the various non-systemic opposition organizations. While the former are largely viewed as being more or less loyal to the government and Putin,[1][2] the latter oppose the government and are mostly unrepresented in government bodies. According to Russian NGO Levada Center, about 15% of the Russian population disapproved of Putin in the beginning of 2023.[3][4]
The "systemic opposition" is mainly composed of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF), the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR), A Just Russia – For Truth (SRZP), New People and other minor parties; these political groups, while claiming to be in opposition, generally support the government's policies.[5][6]
Major political parties considered to be part of the non-systemic opposition include Yabloko and the People's Freedom Party (PARNAS), along with the unregistered party Russia of the Future and Libertarian Party of Russia (LPR). Other notable opposition groups included the Russian Opposition Coordination Council (KSO) (2012–2013) and The Other Russia (2006–2011), as well as various non-governmental organizations (NGOs).[5]
Their supporters vary in political ideology, ranging from liberals, socialists, and anarchists, to Russian nationalists. They are mainly unified by their opposition to Putin and government corruption. However, a lack of unity within the opposition has also hindered its standing.[7][8][9] Opposition figures claim that a number of laws have been passed and other measures taken by Putin's government to prevent them from having any electoral success.

Zelensky nationalizes TV news and restricts opposition partiesGrayson Quay, Weekend editor
The Week
March 20, 2022On Saturday and Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky invoked his emergency powers under martial law to suppress several opposition political parties and implement a "unified information policy."
In an address to the nation delivered Sunday, he announced a temporary ban on "any activity" by 11 political parties.
The ban includes the Opposition Platform – For Life party, which holds 43 seats in Ukraine's national parliament and is the largest opposition party.
Opposition Platform – For Life is a pro-Russia party, but on March 8, party leader Yuriy Boyko demanded that Russia "stop the aggression against Ukraine," according to Ukrainian outlet LB.
That same day, Viktor Medvedchuk, who was accused of treason against Ukraine in May and escaped from house arrest shortly after the invasion began, was removed from his post as the party's co-chair. Russian President Vladimir Putin is godfather to Medvedchuk's daughter.
Zelensky's information policy involves "combining all national TV channels, the program content of which consists mainly of information and/or information-analytical programs, [into] a single information platform of strategic communication" to be called "United News."
Reuters notes that, until Saturday, privately owned Ukrainian media outlets "continued to operate" independently.
Zelensky said the measure was necessary to combat Russian misinformation and "tell the truth about the war."
Unlike dictatorial Nulandia, in Russia opposition parties have not been banned, and elections have not been done away with. The government has not combined all independent news sources into one unified government spokeshole to combat misinformation, like 17 U.S. intelligence agencies.
