Wow. That elite Ukrainian military sure is kicking Russia’s ass. I guess their master plan this winter is to starve and freeze to death. I wonder if any Ukrainians are wondering whether their glorious leader Zelensky should have come to the negotiating table back in March. Remind me. Does it get cold in Ukraine during the winter?
Much of the Ukrainian capital of Kiev is without electricity or water, after the latest round of major Russian airstrikes on Monday. The Russian military announced ‘successful’ strikes on multiple of the country’s vital infrastructure facilities.
“The Russian Armed Forces continued to launch strikes with high-precision long-range air and sea-based weapons against Ukrainian military and energy facilities,” the Defense Ministry said. “The goals of the strikes were successful. All assigned objects were hit.” Meanwhile, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal confirmed direct hits on 18 sites – most of which were connected to the nation’s energy supply. These ramped up attacks have created a growing sense of panic with temperatures plunging and winter approaching.
“Missiles and drones hit 10 regions, where 18 sites were damaged, most of them energy-related,” Shmyhal stated on Telegram. “Hundreds of settlements in seven regions of Ukraine were cut off.” Facilities in Cherkasy and Kirovohrad also came under attack. Ukraine’s military said it intercepted projectiles over the Lviv region, which spared this western part of the country from damage.
The Washington Post noted there are “power outages continuing in the Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions,” and others. The Post listed some of the below regions impacted by large-scale power outages and water supply disruptions:
- Kyiv region: Russian strikes damaged buildings, and rescuers are searching for victims, the regional police said. Attacks left 80 percent of the capital without water and are likely to cause sustained power outages, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
- Kharkiv: Two strikes hit critical infrastructure facilities in the eastern city, causing problems with the water supply and affecting the public transit network, the mayor said.
- Zaporizhzhia region: An infrastructure facility was struck by rockets, the local governor said, prompting warnings from officials in the southern region that energy supplies there could also be affected.
- Cherkasy region: Some of the region lost power after air attacks on infrastructure facilities, the military administrator said.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba condemned the attacks as more war crimes: “Another batch of Russian missiles hits Ukraine’s critical infrastructure. Instead of fighting on the battlefield, Russia fights civilians,” he tweeted.

Additionally Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko announced on Telegram that these fresh strikes left 80% of residents in the capital without water and some 350,000 homes with no electricity.
“Just in case, we ask you to stock up on water from the nearest pumps and points of sale,” he advised. The mayor’s office vowed that water supply to the effected parts of the city would be restored in three to four hours, with emergency utility crews working urgently on it.
Rescue teams in the capital are reportedly searching for possible casualties under the rubble of buildings destroyed or damaged from the new salvo of Russian strikes; however, at this point casualty numbers are unclear.
The US ambassador said she and her staff had to take shelter in this latest attack on the capital:
Like millions of Ukrainians, our @USEmbassyKyiv team is once again taking shelter as Russia continues its callous and barbaric missile strikes on the people of Ukraine in an effort to leave the country cold and dark as we approach winter.
— Ambassador Bridget A. Brink (@USAmbKyiv) October 31, 2022
Already before Monday’s attacks, Ukrainian officials estimated that 40% of the nation’s electrical power systems had been severely damaged, and urged households to limit their usage, especially with non-essential large appliances. Ukrainians are further being warned to prepare for long-term power outages as a frigid winter is just around the corner.

Expect the lunatics to still spin this as a win for Ukraine. Zelenski will start his telethon back up begging for billions from the US.
Where’s Jerry Lewis when he is so very much needed for the retards of government here and there?
He’s too busy voting demoncrat from the great beyond.
I suggest everyone with a lick of sense pay attention and get your house in order.
Choose this day and be still and know.
Sadly people will not heed the warnings, not then and not now…
Matthew 24:38
For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,
Like most here have repeatedly stated… Russia is not in a hurry in spite of the pundits screeching at the terrible strategies by Russia. Pretty certain Evil Vlad doesn’t give much thought to the banshees shrieking war crimes when they turn off the gas and now electricity. These same banshees that held their tongues when the azof criminals where shelling schools, hospitals and shopping areas in the Donbass area.
Winter is on the doorstep… Soon enough the ‘people’ in the ukraine will start to focus on the real perpetrators of their demise. Lets hope they adopt some popular handling methods of getting rid of criminal dictators and US puppets… A little rope and one light pole, both reusable.
Russia may not be in a hurry, but the US and NATO are.

RIGHT ON TARGET..
By the time the ‘people’ in Ukraine figure out what’s happened to them — the perpetrators will have vanished with all of the fund$ to tel aviv or some other banker’$ paradise … and they’ll be beyond the law, just like when they flee the US.
Maybe sooner than you think… Freezing cold with no food has a way of clearing the mind and helping you to figure out who is causing the pain… When the dirtballs flee, where will they go to??? New Zealand?? Easier to isolate them there, for good…
Ukraine is such old news, kind of getting unpopular, and too many digging into the cash flow.
Its on the Australia.
US to Put Nuclear-Capable B52s in Australia as Taiwan Invasion Fears Grow
https://www.vice.com/en/article/epzkxe/nuclear-b52s-australia-taiwan-china
The pity is it is always the Lumpen who pay a terrible price for the disgusting and often deadly mess their politicians make. Same in every damned place. However, it is to be said that such a cold and dark environment helps focus the mind on seeking solutions.
Despite the biggest propaganda campaign seen since WW2, support for Ukraine and the war is waning in both the US and Europe.
In addition, many EU countries are now protesting their membership in NATO. Even the Democrats tried to mount some opposition to our support for the war but were quickly shut down by their leadership.
Now with his country losing the majority of its infrastructure and the onset of winter, his people are going to demand and end to the war.
If Zelenski was smart, he would begin negotiations before it became obvious that the west no longer supports his war, and he loses even more bargaining power.
NATO’s expiration date was 1991.
It stinks to high heaven now.
1000 thumbs up to you Joe !!! NATO is a destroyer of peace, sovereignty and an enormous waste of money.
Excellent strategic move by Ukraine! Now, with their power grid essentially destroyed, it will become even easier to rebuild it in a form more suitable for clean wind energy and battery driven automobiles! Putler is still fighting Word War Two while Zelensky is playing 4D chess!
(end sarcasm)
Lesson to the countries of the world: Become an ally of the US and all of this can be yours, too.
you know what is sad about what iska & many others have written here about the us?
20 years ago 2/3 of the guys on the list would have been willing to fight you 4 talking caca about our country,now we have to concede that you are probably correct–
Viet Nam? Anyone?
In Iraq? Smoke some crack!
Afghanistan? You are the man.
Haiti, matey – Somalia baby.
Busta Cap, yo
It’s Mud Season right now in Ukraine.
The 404’s can’t do Jack or Shit at this point in time, while the Russkies continue to rain metal down on Ukiefuks,
This mud will freeze in Nov. Then the 300k new Russkie troops arrive. The end approacheth.
Humans can’t even walk in this shit!
According to Col Douglas Macgregor in the video someone posted on another thread, while Russia has mobilized 300,000, they haven’t stopped mobilizing men. Macgregor says they could have a million men ready by January.
Good dirt.
Those Ukrainians are diabolical. Letting the Russians destroy the public utilities that the Russians will need when they occupy Kyiv.
Q: Does it get cold in The Ukraine in the winter?
A: Yes
Q: Does it get cold in Palm Beach in the winter?
A: No, unless you call the 2-3 nights in January when it goes down to 45º F. or so. Seek guidance from your Fearless Leader to confirm.
In his defense, Zelensky only got that mansion in FL because it’s easier to get his cocaine there.
Floridians will not like the likes of Swillensky shopping at their clean, friendly neighborhood Publix, Winn-Dixie, Piggly Wiggly…..either.
Stay the fuck out of Florida, warmongering tool.
Sir, we are in a GSM (the Eddy Minimum) and before it reverses course about 2050, they may see snow and ice.
Must be a last ditch offensive by the Russians seeing how the Ukrainians are right outside of Moscow beginning the final assault.
So true, Russia is out of munitions as well.
I sent a box of 50 22LR over… they can pass out a few rounds to the troops… stave off the ukies for a while…
Never will understand why Putin doesn’t endenger himself to the Ukrainian people he will one day rule over.
the russians would do well to bomb zelensky. what a disgusting filthy piece of shit.
Such conduct would be branded as anti-semitic … therefore, illegal …
Trust the plan!
The half of Americans that have a brain will vote the illegal 2020 communist coup out 8Nov2022 and hopefully the republicans will conduct Nuremberg like trials for a dozen Leftist Crimes. Hopefully republicans will immediately stop our support of the Nazis. The hapless Western Ukrainian Civilians will continue to receive a military pounding from Russia until EU, NATO and the Nazis finally agree to an unconditional surrender; the Breadbasket of Europe will be destroyed for years. Bon Appetite morons.
I’d be happy for a purge day so we can kill them ourselves.
That’s how you know they’re winning.
ZeroHedge courageously posts these articles, and thanks to them for that, but turns on its constituents by banning them for their free speech in the comment section.
Sort of being a right leaning website is like being sort of pregnant.
You is or you aint.
( sorry, but they earned it)
THE RUSSIANS PULLED BACK INTO THE DONBAS AND CRIMEA REGIONS SET UP DEFENSIVE POSITIONS AND JUST STARTED POUNDING THE UKIES FROM AFAR. THEY DID THE SAME TO THE NAZIS IN WW2 AND JUST AT THE RIGHT TIME THE RUSSIANS LAUNCHED AND CRUSHED THE NAZIS INTO PASTE. PUTIN DOESN’T GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT THE EU OR REALLY UKRAINE HE JST WANTS A BUFFER BETWEEN NATO AND HE WANTS WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY RUSSIAS THE DONBAS AND CRIMEA. AND YES CRIMEA AND DONBAS HAVE ALWAYS BELONG TO RUSSIA.
and Odessa.
No need to yell.
Snuffy,
Auntie is saying all capital letters is like yelling.
We here all been yelled at before.
Keep on posting!
Dam shock and awe, Where have I seen that before? Oh yes, it was when the US killed 2 million in Iraq.
