As millions of Ukrainians celebrate Christmas Day, Russia has launched a major missile and drone attack on the country’s energy infrastructure
President Zelensky says Russia made a “conscious choice” to launch attacks at Christmas
Ukraine’s air force says it detected 184 missiles and drones - many were shot down or missed their target
Russia confirms what it calls the “massive” attack, saying the “goal was achieved”
In Kyiv, people sheltered in metro stations - “It’s scary to stay at home,” one woman says
There are power cuts and planned outages across the country, including in parts of Kyiv
In bitterly cold Ukraine, attacks on power sites are now a regular occurrence.
Wow, attacking on Christmas, typical Russian bottom of the scum barrel move. Remember when countries involved in real wars held a truce for Christmas?
It seems like a symbolic (but obviously still immoral) move, Orthodox Christmas is usually celebrated later (January) but it seems like Ukraine aligned with the December 25 date in 2023. Russians still celebrate on the traditional Orthodox day.
So should Ukraine send a counter attack in January on Orthodox Christmas or be the better country?
Maybe on Orthodox eve?
Since they seem to only attack military targets they should do it any day.
They must feel so proud of themselves
Can’t blame them. They haven’t exactly been successful in anything much these past decades…
Google broke compatibility with my preferred app for downloading YouTube videos. I was just thinking to myself, ten minutes ago, that doing so on xmas is a dickish move. I hadn’t considered that a much greater dick move would be killing people and causing people to freeze. What assholes.
Fucking indescribable monsters, them and all their supporters.
Typical Assholes.
Didn’t they do this the last years too?
Meanwhile, Putin says that relations between Russia and China have reached “an unprecedented level” as a result of the high level of mutual trust between both countries, as per Chinese state media.
