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.

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

You Neocons sound as hysterical and KooKy as the Climate Change freaks. How do you feel about Greta Thunberg?

As the temperature drops, it takes more effort to move about and you get hungrier more quickly. If supplies fail to match needs, morale sinks. Desertion, surrender, looting, and mutiny all start looking more attractive. Actual fighting, less so.

In the past, General Winter was Russia’s great ally. But now the cold months are helping Ukraine. Its soldiers are better equipped, better trained, better led, better treated, and therefore more highly motivated. Russians, by contrast, are paying the price for their system’s endemic incompetence and corruption. When you are wearing the wrong clothes, the cold bites hard.

Perhaps they can stay warm by burning enormous piles of US dollars

“As many as 10 million Ukrainians do not have power as a result of Russia's bombardment”

Meanwhile Q-onanists, kacaps and other psychos are celebrating and blame America.

Evil America invaded russia and bombed Ukraine. Damn warmongers...

“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!”

Clearly kacapistan is winning. Since 9 months. That's why they retreat and instead attack civilian infrastructure trying to freeze to death people they were vowing to “liberate from Nazis”.

Ukraine Faces Dark and Brutal Winter

Yaakiv Kedmi - former Israeli politician - seems to have taken a wrong turn into the wrong studio. Solovyov is not happy to hear someone telling him “It’s not an option to bomb a peaceful city…these things shouldn’t even be uttered!”

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

All of russia's free neighbors detest it, and you spout gibberish about 'common language and culture' as if Ukrainians should be ecstatic that they are invaded and killed by someone with a similar language. I guess its okay then. Moronic.

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 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.

Gee, why is the heat off in Ukraine? Could it be because of the brutish Russian invaders?

The FR crowd really thinks it’s OK for Russians to invade their neighbors and set forth the deaths of civilians. And the owners of the site applaud them.

The world has certainly turned upside down.

They allow you to spew this crap. Nothing is done, and that means it’s accepted. And they wonder why the donations are drying up. I hope you guys can kick in the $80k a quarter.

Funny how Ukrainians would rather have a 'dark and brutal winter' than be part of russia.

The world has certainly turned upside down.

upside down is thinking the biden crime administration, the deep state, corporate leftist media, RINOs, and every other detestable mendacious loser you can name is ALL OF A SUDDEN on the right side of this issue.

there are none so blind as those who will not see
