Russia Launches\u00a0Christmas Assault On Ukraine, Targeting Power Grid\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Russia unleashed a massive aerial attack using missiles and drones on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called the Christmas Day assault “inhuman.”<\/p>\n

“Today, Putin deliberately chose Christmas to attack. What could be more inhuman? More than 70 missiles, including ballistic missiles, and more than a hundred attack drones,” the Ukrainian president wrote on Telegram.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg<\/a> cited\u00a0Ukraine’s power grid operator, Ukrenergo, as saying the attack left 500,000 customers in the\u00a0Kharkiv region without heating, while blackouts were triggered in parts of\u00a0Kyiv and elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zelenskiy said,\u00a0“Russian evil will not break Ukraine and will not distort Christmas.” Duh… Starlink.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Russia’s Defence Ministry confirmed the Christmas Day aerial strike on Ukraine as a “massive” one and said energy infrastructure near\u00a0Kyiv’s “military-industrial complex” was targeted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The aim of the strike was achieved. All facilities have been hit,” the ministry wrote in a statement, as quoted by Reuters<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nearly three years into the war and marking the\u00a0second Christmas, Free Press’ Jay Solomon recently asked: “Is World War III Already Here?”<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, US President-elect Donald Trump recently described the war in Ukraine as total “carnage,” unprecedented since World War II, and emphasized the urgent need for peace.<\/p>\n

Gen Zers aspiring to become social media influencers or OnlyFans models should realize they could be the ones shipped off if World War III erupts. This generation’s lack of anti-war advocacy might stem from ignorance, as their faces remain glued to their devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
