Over 1.5 million people in the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa are without power following Saturday nighttime “kamikaze drones” pummeling electricity infrastructure in the region, also as blackouts continue surrounding the capital of Kiev and other cities.
“As of now, the city is without electricity,” the Ukrainian presidency’s office said of Odessa. “The situation remains difficult, but is under control,” spokesman Kyrylo Tymoshenko said, but while acknowledging that hospitals and maternity wards do have access to electricity at this point.
“As a result of the strike, there is no electricity in almost all districts and communities of our region,” Maksym Marchenko, governor of the Odesa region said while pointing to suicide drones as the chief Russian weapon in the fresh attacks.
Starting Friday, the Ukrainian government said Odesa and southern regions were in the midst of suffering the worst and most sustained power outages due to the latest wave of major Russian aerial attacks. The biggest of these attacks started Monday and particularly targeted much of the south and its power grid.
National grid operator Ukrenergo said “Because of damage caused by missile strikes to power plants and the high-voltage network, the system has a significant shortage of electricity.”
According to the latest on Sunday:
The situation has been made worse by severe frost, rain, snow and strong winds, which are causing wires to ice over in western regions.
But the east, where fighting has been fiercest, is suffering most. Zaporizhzhia governor Oleksandr Starukh said: “There is a lack of energy – up to a third of what is needed.”
Russia launched 15 Iranian suicide drones against power infrastructure in Ukraine’s port city of Odesa on Saturday. Ukraine shot down 10. But 5 got through. Now 1.5 million people are without electricity. Streets were in darkness – apart from a carousel at the local fair ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/v50h2W2kfr

Russian President Vladimir Putin has meanwhile accused the Ukrainians of waging their own cross-border attacks on Russia’s own energy and resources, alleging in a speech days ago its forces sabotaged power lines rom the Kursk nuclear power plant, as well as cutting off water supplies to Russian-controlled Donetsk, which he called an attempt at “genocide”.
Also last week, Ukrainian authorities said that Russian forces have continued to play a game of nuclear chicken due their installing multiple rocket launchers at the shut-down Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

Western media is pushing the Ukrainian version of information concerning the war. That makes my BS meter sound caution alarms. The western media has been known to stretch the truth.
russiavsworld.org. an anti-Putin Russian website:
According to available data, there are now about 700,000 people in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At a ratio of 1 to 10, this is approximately 70,000 officers. That is, the figure for losses announced by Von Leyen is unrealistic. The president’s office understood that, so the tweet with the first version of the video was deleted, and a new one appeared instead, with a video that did not mention losses.
Where could the figure of 100,000 casualties come from? Most likely, the traces lead to the statement of the chairman of the USA Joint Chiefs of Staff, gen. Mark Milley, which he made on November 10. At a conference hosted by the Economic Club of New York, Milley said more than 100,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded in the war.
He added that the number of troop casualties was probably the “same” for Ukraine’s army.
So, Milli was not talking about 100,000 dead, but about 100,000 dead and wounded in Russia. And that there are probably similar losses on the part of Ukraine.
This is how the probable losses of 100,000 dead and wounded turned into ‘100,000 dead officers‘ in von der Leyen’s speech. The president of the EU Commission is a great friend of Ukraine; it is a shame that one of her speechwriters made such a gross mistake. Although the video was quickly deleted, there is no doubt that the original version will be used by Russian propaganda as evidence of the “huge losses” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
‘“The situation remains difficult, but is under control,” spokesman Kyrylo Tymoshenko said…” Suuuurrreeee it is. What he’s really saying is his American supplied generator is working just fine at his house.
The democrat/RINO money laundering center will be kept going no matter
how many Ukie citizens have to die. There will be no peace
treaty from Uncle Slaughter while DC remains in Uniparty hands.
Almost all of them are bought and paid for by (((you know who))).
They want Ukraine and finally Russia’s wealth. Can’t do that with Vlad in charge
and peace in the air.
It’s under control all right. Russian control. And I can’t say I’m sorry to see it either.
Time to blow up Uncle Sugar’s candy factory!

I think it gives me small ads on a regular basis, there is revenue from it to be had, and I will gladly donate all of it here. I am sure there are other users that can do the same. It is revenue, by God. Its just sitting there waiting to be tapped.
Wow, I heard they had hired 88k new IRS agents, but I thought your training would take longer.
I’m sure Admin will get right on it.
It is not even officially winter. It’s all fun and games until the power goes out.
Bitcoin!
Yep
Global Warming will take care of them.
♫ Baby it’s HOT outside. ♫♫
Right?
Kyiiiiiiiv!!!!!
What the fuck is a kamikaze drone? Is it piloted on board by a suicidal live person? If not then how is it a kamikaze? More language manipulation.
They attack when they hear “tora, tora, tora!”.
So I guess according to Ukraine/Western propaganda, if the power is out in your major cities for weeks/months, that’s how you know you’re winning!
I’ve heard Ukraine’s position has been considerably strengthened by the entry of American troops.
I believe the mayor of Odessa – like the mayor of Kiev – has advised residents to leave. Sounds like a plan.
Dementia Joe went to Saudi Arabia not so long ago. His reception was ice cld and the Sheik basically gave Joe the middle finger.
Xi just went to Saudi Arabia. He got the Royal Red Carpet treatment. Look … this is a pic of two leaders who like, or at least respect, each other and who want to do business …….like kill the Petrodollar.

Don’t worry, we will get a CBDC that tracks your every purchase. you’re going to say no? buying gas for your pickup truck will be very tough.
Yep sure sounds like Ukraine is winning to me.
Desperate times, desperate measures.
Time for the nuclear false flag.
They’ve had to pull the plug on it before. But with 300,000+ troops about to join the fight, what hope does Ukraine realistically have?
Since these people hate Jesus Christ, maybe they’ll do it on Christmas? Then they can bombard everyone with the “proof” that Russia did it all day, via TV, Facebook, and censoring online search results. We now know, definitively, that they do this.
And then Biden can declare yet another national emergency and jam through a declaration of war before the new Congress takes over January 3.
The road goes on forever, and the party never ends.
It’s all so stupid. Only stupid people think it’s all a good idea or that we will somehow force Putin out of office.
All that extra debt could have been put to use here at home.
The ethnic cleansing of Ukraine to make it Big Israel,
Russia and Zelensky and the Chabad Lubavitvch who run them both,
are consecrating that land to Lucifer in the blood of Gentiles,
just like they did to Russia, China and the former Holy Land.
War is a satanic ritual. All wars come from the Luciferian Bankers to destroy Gentiles and steal all their property, money and lives.
All the nations that support that war in any way, are participants in that desecration of God’s creation.
They will be judged by God as equally accountable for the sins of the antichrist.
Zelensky just booted the Catholic Orthodox Church and stole all their money and property to ethnically cleanse it of all Gentiles.
They are not even taking care of any gentile soldiers, letting them freeze, having no weapons or shelter or food. The fleeing gentiles are being trafficked.
The Bank steals all the money from the bank accounts of the dead.
The non gentiles soldiers who pose as “Nazis” as a cover, steal everything they can.
They are having a SATANIC torture festival and gratifying their soulless demonic need for sadistic pleasure from Gentiles.
They want Ukraine to be the capital of the NWO.
They want 10 kingdoms under it, all models after China.
They are bringing Lucifer’s kingdom of Hell to this earth, and trafficking of the victims and orphans and laundering money as they do in all wars.
War is a racket, and the Antichrist runs all wars, it is the same as making Hell on earth, so it is a satanic ritual.
God save the people of Ukraine from these demonic entities from Hell.
