Ukraine power grid hit by major Russian drone and missile attack

More than one million people in Ukraine have been left without power after Russia launched a "massive strike" on the country's energy grid overnight.

The co-ordinated assault unfolded over several hours with waves of drones and missiles flying across the length and breadth of Ukraine - the second attack of its kind this month.

Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky said cluster munitions were used specifically against civilian and energy infrastructure.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia launched 90 missiles and 100 drones in response to Ukraine's attacks with UK and US-supplied weapons last week.

"We carried out a comprehensive strike," Putin said during a visit to Kazakhstan on Thursday.

"It was a response to continued attacks on our territory by (US) ATACMS missiles."

I think that the Winter will be cold, in Ukraine.

Its a war.
One in which the US has no national interest.
The Lindsey Grahams, Mitch McConnells, Cheneys, Romneys, Bidens, Raytheons, Blackrocks, and Nulands might have *their* interests in Ukraine, but not the US.

Maybe they can burn some of those billions sent to keep warm.

I think Ukrainian Banderite Nazis die in the cold and dark. I hope McCain is watching from hell.

That’s a lot of Russian “GDP”😎

I think Trump is inhering a war which won’t end anytime soon. He’ll also be faced with major decisions, including either pulling all support to Ukraine OR continuing the support by other means.

It’s a no-win situation for Trump, and abandoning Ukraine will bring huge condemnation from critics all over the world, including from within the U.S.

“Abandon” ukraine already! Those who lust for war and killing should go there (with their extended families) to “fight”. Leave the rest of us alone!

I agree. Let the Euros work this out. This is *their* war.

Trump won’t care about all of the leftists who will condemn him if he cuts off the money flow. They condemn him already.

[ConservativeMind]

The EU should be solely helping.

We have kept the EU militarily incompetent by our “assistance.”

Ukraine needs to deal with its own issues and they should never be in NATO.

Big Fries Deal?

Where, McDonald's?

Ukraine needs to deal with its own issues and they should never be in NATO.

Ukraine is dealing with its own issues, and that includes getting help from elsewhere, just like Russia is getting help from elsewhere to deal with its own issues.

NATO? That's up to Ukraine to decide, and that's up to the NATO countries to decide whether to accept Ukraine as a member. It should not be up to Russia whether any country can join NATO.
