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.

“All of our European neighbors and other partners see Ukraine’s critical need for air defense systems,” Zelensky said Thursday. He said if Russia was allowed to continue striking its energy infrastructure, “this will amount to a global license for terror.”

The DC backstabbers have only Hawk air defense systems from the 1950s to send them! Relying on the US MIC for your survival is suicide. God help the American soldier if he ever has to fight toe to toe with the Russians relying on the few overpriced weapons and meager supplies of ammunition the MIC has made its billions on supplying us.

Zelensky: Give us all your Patriots because Russia is blowing up all our infrastructure, but we’re still shooting down 100% of Russian missiles.

The ukes have fought admirably but it’s time to stop giving them moneylike yesterday. They can’t win. Only an idiot can’t see that.

Cool. In a show of solidarity with his fellow Ukrainians, Alexander Vindman should live on an Amish farm until that power plant is rebuilt.

Vindman and Nuland are of Ukrainian Jewish descent, as is Zelensky.
They should be in the Ukraine fighting for Zelensky.

What do you think Russia’s response to that would be?

yep, as long as they are doing it themselves with their money and their men.

I hope they fight them as long as they can conventionally, then go gorilla and then continue until Russia finally leaves, which they will

I wonder what Zelensky feels like while taking it up the pooper from the US in a totally predictable way, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan are examples of countries where the US rushes in, promises support that will never fail only to cut and run when it’s convenient

This was always the obvious path for the war.

Ukraine can’t keep it up and the EU doesn’t care a bit. They all expected the US to cover for their bastard defense policies.

To the EU and Ukraine: Eat it. You’ve gotten far too much from the US, already.

If it would not be for the US most Ukrainians still would have a roof over their heads and sleep in their own beds and this war would be over by now. Probably the eastern portion of the Ukraine which has a large portion of ethnic Russians and was constantly assaulted and antagonized by radical groups would have been annexed by Russia and things eventually would have settled down.

The only difference would be if Ukraine returns to Russian guidance as it has been previously for four hundred years would be somewhat less corruption and most of the radical elements would be wiped out.

The same goes for Europe if they had not jumped on the US bandwagon. The US purposely damaged the gas supply lines making sure that Europe in general and Germany in particular remains dependent on the US like a colony, just in case they may come to their senses and change their mind.

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. Just like the US likes to keep their backyard free of any intruders, as expressed in the Monroe Doctrine. But the warmongers within the US government along with their associates and friends keep egging them on, knowing that a peaceful coexistence is bad for the production of war materials, especially the military industrial complex as well as the globalists, cranking out wartime supplies like there is no tomorrow and if they keep it up there may not be one. So, they keep stirring the pot until it will boil over and it isn’t too far from doing just that.

Maybe because Ukraine tried to blowup that nuclear power plant.

That’s not what is happening. They are kept upright by US taxpayers dollars.
