Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky offered an alarming update on nationwide Russian bombings of his country on Monday, describing blackouts “everywhere” and significant harm to Ukraine’s power grid.
The Russian military launched a sweeping drone and missile campaign on Monday in which it reportedly focused on bombing energy infrastructure. Some Russian media reported that the strikes impacted at least nine regions of Ukraine – including the capital, Kyiv – while Ukrainian state media listed at least “15 regions” suffering various negative effects from the “large-scale Russian attack” out of the nation’s 27.
The attack is the largest Russian operation within Ukraine since Zelensky authorized a counter-invasion of Russia on August 6, initially targeting the border region of Kursk and expanding into Belgorod and threatening the Bryansk region. The counter-invasion appeared to take Russian strongman Vladimir Putin by surprise, allowing Ukrainian forces to capture a significant slice of uncontested Russian territory on the Ukrainian border. Zelensky later explained in public remarks that the objective of the counter-invasion was allegedly to create a “buffer zone” to make it more difficult for Russia to transfer troops and military assets into Ukraine.

I’m glad everyone has guns and can defend themselves and their country.
Oh, they don’t, and they can’t? Well, too bad.
Z bravely strikes back! Looks strangely familiar, doesn’t it?

The estimate is now 1 million dead in this war but apparently that’s not enough.
Q: What did Ukrainians use before candles?
A: Light Bulbs
He makes relatively little money, but he was helping her with bills and also helping her parents. He does not live with any of them, though.
He finally saw how toxic she is and politely broke it off. She's harassing him daily to get back with her and that he's a jerk for not doing so.
There is a lot she has in common with Zelensky.
“Just Say No.”
Amen!
Like I said on A post yesterday they (a RINOS/DEMS) almost seem to WANT escalation.
Belarus has Russian tactical nukes, lets see if they get involved. Each time you involve another country in this war the chance of someone cooking a few off rises I would guess geometrically.
After that all bets are off.
I’d love to see some of their test messages.
Guess Zee should have negotiated a peace when he had the chance.
The Ukrainians were diverted from Kursk and attacking the nuclear plant there when Elon shut off Starlink.
Aww, Gee Whiz, ... I guess Zelensky did Nazi that coming.
Go Putin!
Give ‘em hell! In the dark.
You rock!
Kill ‘em all!
Joy to the world!
Pat Travers sang it, boom boom out go the lights.
No, Ukraine wants to use western long range weapons (ATACMS) to strike military targets in Russia which the Biden admin is refusing to allow.
Impossible. They were marvhing on moscow just yesterday.
If the Ukrainians would just stop bleeding when attacked they could put an end to the bloodshed.
The tab will be picked up by Russians, eventually.
So far, it's roughly $1 trillion, of which Russia's frozen assets can cover about 1/3.
The balance will be paid off over, say, 30 years at circa $25 billion per year.
Of course, that's assuming the war ends without an exchange of nukes or other WMDs.
Then all bets are off.
