Ukraine suffers one of the heaviest & most prolonged aerial assaults of the war as russia launches over 250 drones & 14 ballistic missiles at civilian targets in Kyiv alone. With air alerts for 7+ hours its citizens feel the weight and reality of putin's real plans for peace.....annihilation

❗️Apocalyptic scenes from Kyiv. A night of terror and fire that no one should ever endure. This is not just another strike. This is Russia’s ongoing campaign of terror against civilians — deliberate, relentless, and merciless.

Usual response from NATO & European countries. Due to Russia's large missile & strike drone attack on Ukraine this morning, Poland said it scrambled military aircraft & took the dust sheets off its air defences. Jets will aimlessly fly around for a bit & land due to boredom. x.com/DowOperSZ/st...

As soon as the temperature in Ukraine goes down, russian psychos attack our energy grid again. It's Аnother attempt to leave Ukrainians with no power, heat, and water in the dead of winter. ⚠️ Kinzhal, Kalibr, Kh-101 missiles are all over Ukraine at the moment.

⚠️ Ukraine's energy infrastructure is under a Russian missile attack. Strikes hit the Burshtyn TPP (Ivano-Frankivsk region), causing increased power outages across the country. Emergency blackouts also in Kyiv—schedules suspended.

This Friday morning, think of the millions of people living in Ukraine - a nationwide air alert has been underway for hours with civilian areas hundreds of km behind the lines being attacked by multiple waves of Kinzhal hypersonic & Kalibr cruise missiles, and Shahed drones #russiaIsATerroristState

The horror that Russia is inflicting upon the farmers of Kherson is going unreported. Let me tell you a few things. The road between Stanislav and Oleksandrivka is heavily mined by Russian drones. They drop mines from things like mavics to cover the roads and the areas around the roads

However, nothing was actually done to protect the civilians of an attacked country from a massive aerial onslaught. NATO members US & UK afford this protection to Israel & take necessary action. Get a grip in the West. Pathetic. #russiaisaterroriststate #letUkrainestrikeback
