[[[Serzhan’s resilience masks a deepening crisis in Ukraine. These are not the first rolling blackouts since Russia’s full-scale invasion, but they are the first to happen in the spring and early summer – traditionally the months with lowest electricity demand before air-conditioning season kicks in – underscoring the scale of the supply problem.
In the early hours of Thursday morning, Ukraine endured the seventh massive Russian attack on its energy facilities since March 22 this year. Ukrenergo, the state-owned grid operator, reported damage in four regions. Seven energy workers were injured, and previously scheduled power outages extended.
On Saturday, “massive” Russian missile attacks hit several Ukrainian energy facilities, leaving thousands without power, officials said.
In the Zaporizhzhia region, two power engineers were injured and the energy facility was damaged overnight, according to Ivan Fedorov, the head of Zaporizhzhia’s regional military administration.
Ukraine’s energy grid has been firmly in the crosshairs of Russian missiles since the war began but this year Moscow began specifically targeting power generation facilities – thermal power plants, hydroelectric power stations, even energy storage facilities – a marked shift in tactics from the previous winter, when the attacks were less precise, and the damage easier to repair. Experts say Russia has been using better weaponry and taking advantage of thin Ukrainian air defenses.]]]

No, it’s a Russian soldier’s Telegram post.
Read, moron.
Dear Vlad
You forced NATO to get big and spend money on a needless war.
Not only will the US have 17 bases in Sweden.
But, and TA DA! The largest airbase NATO will have will be in Romania.

Thanks for all the loss of lives and economic hardship. You did help spread US influence, sure you are a happy midget now,
https://edition.cnn.com/2024/06/23/e...tam/index.htmlPriest and six law enforcement officers killed in attacks on synagogue and church in Russia’s Dagestan
Six law enforcement officers and a priest have reportedly been killed in what appear to be coordinated attacks by gunmen in Russia’s southernmost Dagestan province.
Attacks have been reported in a church and a synagogue in the city of Derbent and at a police traffic stop in the city of Makhachkala. Regional authorities say 12 law enforcement officers have also been wounded, though it is unclear in which city.
Two “militants” have also been killed following the attacks, RIA Novosti reported on Sunday, citing Dagestan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs.
A priest was killed in the attack on the church in Derbent, according to the Dagestan Public Monitoring Commission Chairman, Shamil Khadulaev.
“According to the information I received, Father Nikolay was killed in the church in Derbent, they slit his throat. He was 66-years-old and very ill,” Khadulaev said.
He also said a security guard at the church armed with only a pistol was shot. Additional priests have locked themselves in the church and are waiting for help, Khadulaev said.
Meanwhile, the synagogue is now on fire with large flames and plumes of smoke billowing heavily out of a series of windows on at least one floor of the structure.
...
Are you sure about that, sport?
Nope, just WW3, Effy. 60+ countries involved. Oh yeah, dad...WW3.
In for penny.
In for pound.
Let us proceed...
And the rockets red glare…
It’s so beautiful watching American weapons kill Russians. I only wish Patton and Reagan were around to see it
Reagan would roll over in his grave knowing his Republicans today are rooting for Putin
