🔌 DTEK Group , Ukraine’s largest private energy company, has lost 80% of its generating capacities, prompting renewed speculations of nationalization. Top management estimates a 6-24 month repair time and cost at $230 mn – twice as expensive as the repairs following the previous…

Russia is happy. Ukraine doesn't have enough weapons, the US military aid wasn't coming in for months. It pushes on the frontline and simultaneously destroys Ukrainian energy power plants which 🇺🇦 doesn't have enough air defence to protect. 'As long as it takes' sounds hollow

genocide committed in out and open in Europe in 2024. don’t scroll by.

In wake of Russia's successful plan to destroy 100% of Ukraine's energy infrastructure while Ukraine's partners opt to let Russia do this, I have an honest question.
Is the West ready for a new wave of millions of refugees that will be bigger this time? Have they done the math?

“Our peaceful civilian oil refineries” and “Their Azov-occupied strategic maternity hospitals, drama theaters, and heating stations”

If the West thinks that by pressing Ukraine into capitulation with Russia the new long peace can be achieved, it is deluded.
No.
This will only lead to a bigger war where the perpetrator knows he can do anything because he was never stopped/punished for his previous crimes.

As Russia is on path to flatten 100% of Ukraine's energy infrastructure, Kyiv's biggest ally proves to be scared to help.
So scared it openly presses Ukraine to stop hitting the aggressor.
If Ukraine falls, guess who will be next? And who will pick up the bill?

Russia destroyed Trypillya thermal power station today, the biggest energy provider for Kyiv, Zhytomyr and Cherkasy oblasts.
Our source in Ukraine energy industry says with such pace Russia will destroy 100% of UA's energy capabilities by summer, making it impossible to live here

Stupid, stupid, stupid allies bombing oil refineries during World War II to strip the Axis of fuel and lubricants and degrade its war machine; they had no idea that's not really a way to win wars.

Russia's goal is clear, and announced on their largest state-owned TV channel: to make Ukrainian Kharkiv unliveable, to erase 1-million-inhabitants city from earth, in order to break the will of Ukrainians. And their next steps will be Warsaw and Berlin.

Fantastic. A must-read.

my parents were banned from leaving their village without a special permit until they were in their 20s. them and my grandparents could only travel within the empire “for leisure” if proved that they have relatives in the destination location

Yes, America had Abu Ghraib. I was in Baghdad at the time. I know. But once those pictures came out, they caused a scandal. In Russia, footage of torture is released by the official propaganda machine, with gloating and pride.

Putin invades Ukraine, killing scores of innocents, flattening Mariupol and other cities, leaving mass graves everywhere RU army came.
Putin whitewashes Hitler for attacking Poland.
To Putin, there’s no neo-Nazism here.
It’s Ukraine’s resistance that’s very Nazilike to Putin.

This barista girl in downtown Kyiv keeps serving coffee even though her place's front window was smashed in today's Russian missile strike.

That's our Kyiv!

87 years ago, Soviet police, aka NKVD, first executed prominent Ukrainian artist Mykhailo Boychuk, then killed his wife months later. This morning debris from Russia’s hypersonic missile fell onto the Kyiv Academy of Decorative Applied Arts & Design, which was named after Boychuk
