www.theguardian.com Russia-Ukraine war live: half a million people without heating in Kharkiv region after Russian attack

Ukrainian president says ‘what could be more inhuman’ after missiles and drones hit Ukraine’s energy system on Christmas Day

Following the attack on Ukraine’s energy system, Reuters reports that half a million people in Kharkiv region were left without heating on Christmas Day, in temperatures just a few degrees Celsius above zero. Meanwhile there were blackouts in the capital Kyiv and elsewhere.

Russia has intensified attacks on the Ukrainian energy sector since spring of this year, damaging almost half of its generating capacity and causing prolonged blackouts.

Sometimes there's people you just don't stand up to, because they have no middle ground between not retaliating and commiting mass murder. Putin is not one of those types of assholes.
The world should have backed Putin down HARD with a show of force when he invaded Ukraine.
- It's not just putin though, it is at the very least a strong majority of russian population who are supporters of genocidal imperialism.
  And this holds true across every demographic segement (age, income, rural vs. urban, education).
  
  But in the beginning it was Putin alone who decided to invade, and we missed our chance to nail the son of a bitch to the wall.

After all the wars Russia started so far we all might now know Russia is 'best' (?!) against civil targets but lack efficiency against real targets. See flights MH17 and now AZAL J28243.

Russia taking tips from his fellow ICC convict Bibi.
