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.

“ “At least two million Ukrainians will migrate in winter – WHO”‘

Maybe Biden will let another 50,000 over as refugees.

1,600,000 mostly Hispanics crossed the Southern border in 2021 and maybe 2,500,000 this year. True numbers are who knows how great. Know how many Ukranian refugees have came over so far total? 150,000. 150,000 / 4 million is about 3-4%.

The deep state Dems are so reverse racist and yet call us the racists. it’s almost comical.

⚡️The Russian mobilized in the Donbas are poorly equipped and in order to warm themselves, they burn fires, thus revealing their positions to the artillery of the Defense Forces.

Serhii Cherevatyi, the spokesman of the Eastern Group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, says this.— FLASH (@Flash_news_ua) November 22, 2022

Thats true but coal can be used for heat.

And with the proper stove, one can at least cook...boils water etc.

Of course them dumb sobs over there will use the rivers and such as sewers.

Ukraine is a backwater and sidebar issue on the global stage. The Deep State desperately wants to partner with Putin on nuking up Iran, financing their wack job green energy policies, etc. Putin is a globalist of the Russian flavor. No more. No less. He’s happy to project Russian corruption and influence wherever he can.

As a conservative American you should be appreciative of Ukrainians right to nationhood and a national identity. Ukraine is not Russia. Ukrainians have a God Given Right not to be ruled by the Moscow Kremlin. You need to understand that.

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!

LOL - like that movie “Groundhog Day.” Maybe it’ll stop once they get it right?

I do feel for the innocent citizens who are being used as pawns in this Battle of the Narcissists. The people just want to go about their lives. Their bloated “leaders” don’t care one whit about them.

And I suppose that surrendering the entire country to Russia and having its population deported and dispersed to Siberia would be better?

Really, Comrade Jon!

Ukrainians have a God Given Right not to be ruled by the Moscow Kremlin. You need to understand that.

They also have a God-given right not to subject to neo-nazi coups organized by the likes of Victoria Nuland and John McCAin. They have the right not to have their officials threatened by people like Joe Biden, or have their assets stripped by the likes of Hunter Biden.

At least Russia is on their border and they share a common language and culture

Your thieving deep-state DC cronies travelled 4000 miles to f*** with Ukraine and turn it on its head. You need to understand that.
