Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia was trying to use the cold this winter as a 'weapon of mass destruction' by striking energy infrastructure

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said today that Russia was trying to use the cold this winter as a"weapon of mass destruction" by striking energy infrastructure.

He urged the Association of French Mayors to send generators, support for de-mining operations and equipment for Ukraine's emergency services and medics. Russia's attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities follow a series of battlefield setbacks that have included a pull-out of Russian forces from the southern city of Kherson to the east bank of the mighty Dnipro River that bisects the country.

Ukrenergo's chief Volodymyr Kudrytskyi said today that practically no thermal or hydroelectric stations had been left unscathed, though he dismissed the need to evacuate civilians. Workers are racing to repair damaged power infrastructure, according to Sergey Kovalenko, the head of YASNO, which provides energy for Kyiv.

Kyiv and the West describe Russia's actions as an unprovoked, imperialist land grab in the neighbouring state it once dominated within the former Soviet Union. Four people were killed and four wounded in Ukraine-held areas of the Donetsk region over the past 24 hours, regional governor Pavlo Kyryleno said on the Telegram messaging app.

Perhaps there wouldn’t be suffering if you had adhered to the Minsk Accords🤔

Zelenskyy says... Quick everyone do as the king says

ps Energy Infrastructure has been a legitimate military target since hairy little men threw spears at each other and ran raids with torches into the grain supply. Go figure.

The Irish aren't a very sophisticated people, let's be honest. Politically, culturally, philosophically, whatever. We get that. And it's ok. But surely, surely, yee must be getting fatigued by this silly little man, his US backers and his spiteful, hateful rhetoric, by now.

aw 'weapon of mass destruction'. That old chestnut

Well if Zelensky said it. It must be true.

Very warm hotels in Kiev, 'Exceptional'rooms available unlike their Irish counterparts accommodating Ukrainians, etc. etc.

That lad needs to calm down on the cocaine.

Zelensky had an opportunity to end this war last April but choice to break off negotiations.Ever since he's been flying all over the world meeting other leaders.He even got his picture on the cover of Vogue.Yes he's having a good war.All the while his country men have been dying.

He won't be cold 🙄

will you retweet and highlight this? DiedSuddenly

All war is cruel on the ordinary citizen. The first 3 targets of the Gulf war 1990 was Basra, Kirkuk and Najaf Kufa water treatment works, obviously to deny people access to treated water in searing heat.
