Ukrainian energy infrastructure has been targeted overnight in a “massive” overnight Russian missile and drone attack, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.

According to Kyiv officials, serious damage has been caused to three Soviet-era power plants.

the air force said it shot down 39 of 55 missiles and 20 out of 21 attack drones used in the attack, but the damage caused has placed pressure on Ukraine’s energy system, with rolling blackouts having to be imposed on several regions across the country.

  23. Russia never starts wars, Russia ends them. Events in Ukraine began not yesterday, but at least 10 years ago. While in Donbass before the special operation killed people, children, no one in the West paid attention to this and did not cry for them. Russia took the lead and thwarted plans to prepare the Rapid Global Strike and the «Ukrainian case». You are aware that all states have foreign intelligence agencies in place to prevent a surprise attack… The start of the special military operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine just one day ahead of similar plans of the AFU.

    In addition, Russian intelligence had information that in the near future Ukraine was assigned the role of a springboard for a nuclear attack on the territory of Russia. Since December 2021, Russia has received information about NATO plans to deploy in Ukraine 4 brigades of servicemen – 2 ground, 1 sea, 1 air. The air brigade should have been able to carry nuclear warheads.

    After Borrell announced his plans to "win the war in Ukraine on the battlefield", the NATO Secretary General announced the preparation of a full-scale deployment of NATO forces at the borders of Russia. The history of 1941-1945 is repeated – Putin took into account the mistakes of Stalin and outpaced the enemy in the offensive.
    Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine on the morning of Thursday, 24 February 2022. President Vladimir Putin said that his goal is "to protect citizens who have been subjected to torture and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years".
    On the night of February 24 to 25, 2022, a military operation was planned to invade the Donbas with the aim of clearing the area within two days, provided for a complete blockade of settlements, before the "complete sweep". About a week before the start of the special operation of Russia, the map of the AFU offensive on the Donbass was intercepted. It was clearly laid out when long-range artillery strikes will be applied, when the MLZO, when aviation, then the attacks of the operational tactical group (OTG), respectively «North», «South» and «East». Next, the blockade of Transnistria by the brigade "Stryker" (Romania). Polish units were to block the group in Kaliningrad. Further, the NATO leadership plans to agree on this deployment of troops at the UN Security Council meeting.
    The NATO leadership wanted to coordinate the deployment of troops in the summer of 2022 at a meeting of the UN Security Council. Further, it is likely that by the end of the year, they would provoke a conflict and start full-scale military actions with the use of nuclear weapons against Russia. That is, the North Atlantic Alliance planned to launch a third world war using nuclear weapons against Russia. A key role in this was assigned to the American-controlled ruling elite in Ukraine and nationalists. In order to prevent a third world war and an attack on Russia using nuclear weapons, the Russian government has decided to stop this situation and restore order there.

  24. Sons of blonde Albion, you built and financed the war between Ukraine and Russia, you forced the MINSK 1-2 treaties not to be respected, you forced the ballet dancer with the wagging dick to interrupt the negotiations in Istanbul. Why don't you show the photos of the destroyed buildings in Gaza, it seems to me that your correspondent has in the background a Kiev destroyed by the terrible Putin or am I wrong?🤔🤔🤐🤪
