Ukraine Evacuates Civilians as Temperatures Drop

Ukraine is bracing for a brutal winter as Russian missile strikes have damaged nearly half of the country’s electrical grid, according to Kyiv, potentially leaving millions of people without heating while temperatures plummet.

As many as 10 million Ukrainians do not have power as a result of Russia’s bombardment, Ukrainian officials have warned, while rolling blackouts and water supply shortages have become commonplace across the country. In recently liberated Kherson, some people are now collecting wood for heat in lieu of a stable power supply.

Our elected criminals are engaged in genocide. As fools cheer this on, millions of innocent people are in danger of dying. Insist that the Republican House defund Biden's war.

“We expect 2–3 million more people to leave their homes in search of warmth and safety. They will face unique health challenges, including respiratory infections such as Covid-19, pneumonia and influenza, and the serious risk of diphtheria and measles in under-vaccinated populations,” Kluge stated.”

Zelensky will be well fed and warm this winter. Maybe he should think about those who will not be.

This can't be so. Every day on FR I read breathless postings about how the Ukraine have won the war for the 100th day in a row! Unfortunately, each day they have to begin again and re-win the war. It's a Sisyphean task!

Ukraine has proven reserves equivalent to 638.4 times its annual consumption. This means it has about 638 years of Coal left (at current consumption levels and excluding unproven reserves).


Despite having the world’s sixth-largest coal reserve, 90 percent of it in the Donbas region, Ukraine risks power cuts from shortages. President Volodymyr Zelensky recently announced that Ukraine was ceasing exports of oil, coal and gas to meet needs this winter. Miners have more immediate concerns.


Ukraine harbors some of the world’s largest reserves of titanium and iron ore, fields of untapped lithium and massive deposits of coal. Collectively, they are worth tens of trillions of dollars.

Ukraine is a deep-state cancer inflicted upon the US body politic

Every major DC corruption and political scandal of the last 6 years has ties to Ukraine. From the DNC server/crowdstrike, to the fake dossiers on Trump/Page/Papadopoulos, to Hunter Biden and Chris Kerry influence peddling, to the Vindmans and Trump impeachment.....

The US deep state simply replaced greedy Russian oligarchs for even greedier and more violent US oligarchs and politicians

I feel sorry for average Ukrainians caught up in this, but average Americans should hope that Russia excises this cancer.

And there are no American government regulatory lampreys around to suck the development efforts dry...

Don’t worry, the Marxist State Media Muppets will make it all better with intense propaganda on how well the war is going and of Russia’s collapse just around the corner.

It doesn’t matter how much one can generate if transmission lines, distribution lines, and substations are destroyed.
