Russia targets Ukraine's gas facilities in biggest attack of the war, officials say

[Brenda]

Russia launched its biggest attack of the war overnight into Friday against natural gas facilities in Ukraine run by the state-owned Naftogaz Group, officials have said.

Russia fired a total of 381 drones and 35 missiles in the attack, according to Ukraine's air force, in what officials said was Moscow's attempt to wreck the power grid ahead of winter and wear down the Ukrainian population in its all-out war, now well into its fourth year.

"This is deliberate terror against civilian facilities that provide gas extraction and processing for the normal life of people," Serhii Koretskyi, chief executive of Naftogaz, said in a statement.

"It has no military purpose. This is yet another act of Russian malice aimed solely at ... depriving Ukrainians of warmth in winter."

Lest we forget that Chump rolled out the red carpet on American soil for Putin just weeks ago and just days ago he told hundreds of generals of the US military that he alone had ended 7 or 8 wars.

The fucking lying criminal had the nerve or lack of brain function more likely to do that.

Do you think those Generals don't know exactly what's happening in Ukraine? THE most significant war going on right now. They know the "wars he ended" are bullshit. Wish they would all speak up.

1. Wow, I remember when lots of DUers used Ukraine flags as avatars.

Now when the biggest attack yet hits, not one reply.

Maybe it's time I stopped posting here. Seems like things have changed so much only the sensational or fake news posts are getting responses.

Ukraine-Russia war latest: Huge explosion in attack on Kyiv gas facilities after Putin warns Trump of ‘escalation’

The Russian Defence Ministry said on Friday that its forces had carried out massive overnight strikes on Ukrainian military-industrial facilities and on gas and energy infrastructure.

The strikes came just two days after Koretskyi announced Naftogaz would import approximately 500 million cubic meters of LNG from the United States via European countries.

Russia’s Vladimir Putin also warned Donald Trump on Thursday that the U.S. risked “a new stage of escalation” if Washington provides Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles.
