10 Million Ukrainians Are Now Without Power

 

BBC News: Ukraine war: 10 million without power after Russian strikes 

President Volodymyr Zelensky has said 10 million Ukrainians are without power after a fresh wave of missile strikes by Russia. 

At least seven people were killed in the strikes, with the number expected to rise. 

"We are doing everything to normalise the supply," Mr Zelensky said in his nightly address. Ukraine's air defence managed to shoot down six cruise missiles and five drones, he added. 

On Thursday, Russia pounded Ukraine with a fresh missile barrage, hitting more energy installations and civilian buildings less than two days after one of its heaviest bombardments yet.

Mangy MFers already attacked us. The southern tier of the US could survive without heat. The southern tier of Russia not so much. It would be Beslan all over again. Enjoy

Yes, let's play a game.

A hacker group operating from the sovereign territory of police state. The police state did not know what was going on? I have bridge to sell you MotherFracker.

fuck you
phrase
(offensive & markedly vulgar) Go away!

Fuck you is appropriate in some situations. European leaders have some bad ideals. Like when Sarkozy and the Italian PM persuaded Obama to bomb Libya. Obama initially resisted their pleas.

Using that term/phrase in common dialogue just shows how far this society has degenerated.

Never heard that when I was a kid.
Traditionalalists have become strangers in thier own Country.
Not much to be proud of any more.

Hey you, WNED, yes you. Dig up some of your hidden silver bullion in the woods and spend it on power generators to send to the Glorious Ukrainians in their time of need. You, ED, don't need your silver bullion so do something useful with it for UKRAINE and fuck your orc tribes in ruZZia.
