In what surprises absolutely no one, only a day after Trump confirms that he will forbid Ukraine from striking the Russian airfields and launchers that are raining daily death on Ukraine’s cities, Russia resumes previous activities, launching one of the largest missile attacks of the war onto the people of Ukraine, targeting power plants, apartment buildings and energy infrastructure all over the country.
In yesterday’s interview with ABC News, Trump said in response to a question as to whether Ukraine’s recent ability to target Russian military targets inside Russia was the right thing to do, he towed the Kremlin line almost verbatim.
“I disagree very vehemently with sending missiles hundreds of miles into Russia. […] Why are we doing that? We’re just escalating this war and making it worse. That should not have been allowed to be done”.
The logic in this statement being that if Russia can just hurry up and genocide all those people that live in Ukraine, Ukraine can finally be Russia and everyone can get back to making all that sweet Russian bribe cash.
News of Trump’s statement was celebrated in Moscow, with Putin immediately sending out his own Press Secretary, Dmitry Peskov with “we fully align with Mr Trump’s view” and we are 100% sure they do as Russia’s missile massacres only recently slowed after Ukraine was given this new permission to strike Russian military targets inside Russia with western weapons. With Ukraine no longer allowed to offer consequences for the daily massacres, Putin is free to spend the next 20 years wiping out Ukraine’s civilian population, with no risk, from the safety of Russian territory, under the full protection of the Trump administration.
A summary of this morning’s massive Russian missile attack is as follows:
In a significant escalation of hostilities, Russia launched a large-scale aerial assault on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, deploying 93 missiles and approximately 200 drones. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the attack as one of the most extensive on the nation’s power grid to date.
The offensive resulted in substantial damage to energy facilities across multiple regions, leading to widespread power outages amid freezing temperatures. In the Kyiv region alone, about half of the population experienced prolonged electricity cuts, with temperatures hovering around -6 degrees Celsius.
Ukraine’s air defenses intercepted 81 of the incoming missiles, including 11 shot down by F-16 fighter jets supplied by Western allies. Despite these efforts, critical infrastructure sustained significant damage, exacerbating the country’s ongoing energy crisis.
The Russian Defense Ministry characterized the assault as retaliation for Ukraine’s recent use of U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles against a Russian military airfield. Moscow claimed that the strikes targeted “critical facilities of Ukraine’s fuel and energy infrastructure that support the military-industrial complex.”
This attack marks the 12th major assault on Ukraine’s energy system this year, intensifying concerns about the country’s ability to maintain essential services during the harsh winter months. The International Atomic Energy Agency reported that five of Ukraine’s nine operational nuclear reactors reduced power output due to the strikes, further straining the energy grid.
President Zelenskyy condemned the attacks, stating, “This is Putin’s plan for ‘peace’—to destroy everything. This is how he wants ‘negotiations’—terrorizing millions of people.” He called for a robust international response, urging Western allies to expedite the delivery of advanced air defense systems to bolster Ukraine’s defenses against ongoing aerial assaults.
The escalation comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions, with the impending inauguration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who has pledged to broker a swift end to the conflict. Ukraine’s leadership emphasizes the necessity of continued Western support to strengthen its position in any forthcoming negotiations.
As the conflict endures, the resilience of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure remains a critical concern, with millions facing the prospect of enduring the winter without reliable access to electricity and heating.
We knew Trump was Putin’s bitch, as he has always been Putin’s bitch, but some still held out the hope that allowing millions to be massacred in exchange for whatever Russia is paying him and his idiot family seemed a bridge too far, even for the Trump’s. But alas.
