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