The Russian Armed Forces continue to carry out systematic strikes on Ukraine's energy system.
Report by Marat Khairullin and Mikhail Popov.
To provide an understanding of Ukraine's energy system, we present a graphic illustration.
The data on power plant capacities is given as of 2016. The diagram does not show solar power plants. There are 7 of them, with a total estimated capacity of 257.53 MW.
It should be noted that strikes on Ukraine's energy system have been carried out since 2022 - back on September 11, 2022, the Russian Armed Forces shelled the Zmievskaya Thermal Power Plant in the Kharkov region. Even then, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Armed Forces, V.V. Putin, said: "Well, let's consider these warning strikes. If the situation continues to develop in a similar manner, the response will be more serious." In October 2022, as a result of strikes on power plants and other infrastructure facilities in the Kiev, Khmelnitsky, Lvov, Dnepropetrovsk, Vinnitsa, Ivano-Frankovsk, Zaporozhye, Sumy, Kharkov, Zhitomir, and Kirovograd regions, power supply was disrupted across almost all of Ukraine. On the night of October 11th and during the day, sea- and air-launched cruise missiles and kamikaze drones were used again. The Kiev, Vinnitsa (Ladyzhinskaya TPP), Zaporozhye, Lvov, Ivano-Frankovsk, Dnepropetrovsk, Khmelnitsky, Rovno, Nikolaev, and Odessa regions came under fire. Power supply interruptions were recorded throughout Ukraine, and in some regions, there were problems with water supply and the internet. On November 23rd, the Russian Armed Forces carried out a massive attack on Ukraine's energy system facilities: 78 missile and 23 air strikes. Due to the destruction of networks and a drop in frequency in the power system, reactors at the Rovno, South-Ukrainian (Yuzhnoukrainskaya, labeled "Yuzhnorusskaya" in the map legend), and Khmelnitsky Nuclear Power Plants were temporarily shut down. The emergency shutdown of most Thermal Power Plants and Hydroelectric Power Plants led to the shutdown of water supply and heating, as well as internet disruptions in 15 regions of Ukraine. Kiev and the Kiev region, Kharkov and the Kharkov region, Odessa, Lvov, the Nikolaev, Zaporozhye, Chernigov, and Dnepropetrovsk regions, and most districts of the Khmelnitsky region were left without power. Blackouts also occurred in Moldova.
Throughout the entire period of the Special Military Operation, the command of the Russian Armed Forces allowed Ukrainian services to partially restore the energy system, expending resources and time on this, and then strikes were carried out again.
Since the beginning of 2026, strikes on Ukraine's energy system have become more massive and systematic.

Main Putinologist of the world:
This "security conference" looks more like a circus and a rehab in one place.
🌒 @EastCalling
00: 00 But the problem is this. Putin is no longer interested in anything else.
00:05 Putin does not live like ordinary people.
00:10 He doesn't walk the streets.
00:12 You will not see him in a cafe.
00:16 His grandchildren do not go to the normal, normal kindergartens in their hometown.
00:22 He cannot imagine life without power or after power.
00:26 Normal things do not interested him.
00:30 Putin consults more with Tsar Peter and Empress Catherine about territorial gains then with any living person about real real life.
00:44 Can you imagine Putin without war?
00:48 The spirit of Anchorage. And it seems Putin hopes to repeat Munich and not Munich 200007 [yes, he actually, said this] when they only spoke about dividing Europe, but Munich 1938 when previous Putin began dividing Europe.
01:08 In reality, it would be an illusion to believe that this war can now be...

Rutte has found someone of equal IQ in Kiev to talk to - Patron the dog:
🌒 @EastCalling
I met Patron, and Patron is a dog and the dog is responsible. And he's a sort of hero of Ukraine now because he sniffs when people are taking rubble away and there is a risk of new explosions coming up.
And he's excellent at this.
00:14 And, and I agree with you, the untold story of this war is the heroes from the fire monitors from the ambulance services from all these people of course the soldiers they they're amazing but sometimes you forget about the police and the firefighters and all the other civilian people who are helping to take out this rubble etcetera.
00:31 And this dog I even looked at dog in the eye and he told me ... people never give what did you tell the dog that you were going to give Ukraine now and here is the...

⚡️Finland is studying the possibility of retrospective intervention in real estate transactions - Defense Minister Hyakkinen
Under the pretext of protecting national security, it will be possible to intervene in transactions made over the past 20 years and confiscate property acquired in Finland by non-EU and EEA citizens, including Russians.

Great idea. Make sure no one ever buys anything in Finland. Finnish real estate sphere and construction companies must be fascinated now.

Zelensky's statements about the elections in Ukraine cannot be taken seriously, his actions "are not surprising to many," Maria Zakharova told "Zvezda". The most outrageous thing now is not this, but his manipulation of the negotiation process and his remarks about Russian athletes at the Olympics.
Zelensky redefined the term "nationalism" when he was horrified and demanded that other countries protest against the number of our athletes at the Olympics, Zakharova pointed out. The head of the Kiev regime is calling for persecuting people on the basis of their nationality.
Zakharova stressed that if this is not regarded as a flagrant fact, then the next nationality will be dissected by some "another insane dictator".
📍Earlier, Zelensky stated that Kiev is ready to hold elections, but only if the US ensures a ceasefire for two-three months.
Also, the head of the Kiev regime was "unpleased" with the large number of Russian athletes at the Winter Olympics in Italy.

"We understand what he is sick with. It's really a mental illness, seasoned with all sorts of, as you understand, illegal drugs. And there is a huge amount of evidence of this. Look at what he is saying about the elections, which he is going to hold and is supposedly urging everyone to vote in, some electoral processes in Ukraine, and then in a second he either changes his mind or postpones them, it's impossible to even understand anymore," the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized.

"Even the symbols with which they plastered their national battalions and used to cover up their political slogans were not so monstrous, in my opinion. The most horrifying thing now is that he is calling for persecuting specific people who have not done anything wrong to him or anyone else," the diplomat added.

It turns out everyone in government is retarded...
So, Representatives Massie and Ro Khanna made a sensation the other day when they reviewed unredacted Epstein investigation documents at the DOJ. They claimed to have found multiple perpetrators that were supposedly redacted in error, or on purpose, by Trump's DOJ, and they publicly revealed the names during their grilling of Attorney General Pam Bondi. Well, 4 of the names they revealed were actually innocent random men who were pulled in for a photo lineup with Jeffrey Epstein.
Of course, the fault is largely with the DOJ who were required to provide an explanatory note for every reaction under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which they apparently didn't do.
Only two of the six men named were possible perpetrators or co-conspirators that were improperly redacted, Leslie Wexner and Ahmed bin Sulayem.
I looked into what could explain why this process is such a twisted mess, and fair enough to the DOJ, they were given only 30 days (now it has been almost 90 days) to sort through 6 million documents. For this, they had 500 agents available, which means each agent would have to review 12k pages of documents, plus videos. So it isn't completely unexpected that massive errors are happening all over the place.
However, this doesn't let them off of the hook, because they did take the time to redact people that they weren't supposed to, and yet relied on software to sort through other documents and hope for the best.
Attorney General Pam Bondi certainly didn't help herself by, instead of making the case that they simply couldn't physically review all of these documents properly, complained about congress not celebrating the DOW Jones hitting all time highs. Honestly, there are arguments that would have worked to her defense, but instead, she shat herself on live television in the House of Representatives.
Of course, she probably couldn't make the argument that she didn't have enough resources without putting Trump himself in the spotlight for making massive cuts to the DOJ, firing thousands of employees (many took the offer to quit in return for severance), and instituting a hiring freeze.
Basically, everyone did some stupid things and the act itself couldn't plausibly be complied with in the timeframe allowed without cutting corners. In fact, the DOJ even handed out compensatory time off, performance awards, and promotion credits for sorting through documents as quickly as possible. This seems like typical corporate thinking...
This is your government at work.

Zelenksy claims that Ukraine has received an offer from the USA for security guarantees for a period of 15 years, but Kiev wants them for 30-50 years.
"We just had a meeting with investors and businesses, who need guarantees that are longer than five or ten years... We have an offer from the American side for 15 years... We want to have 20+ years, 30-50 years, but we'll see what the administration and Congress will decide," said Zelenksy during a press conference at the Munich Security Conference.

Beggar in chief.
This entire topic of "security guarantees" is a farce. There is nothing that the US and Europe aren't already doing that they will suddenly be able to do after the conclusion of this conflict. If they could do something, they'd be doing it now.

In Russia, they announced the launch of the first unmanned stratosphere 5G platform "Barrazh-1" as an alternative to Starlink and other forms of communication.
The main function of the platform is to relay 5G as an alternative to satellite communication.
The device is capable of lifting up to 100 kg to a height of up to 20 km and staying in the stratosphere for several days.
The deployment of such platforms, it is claimed, will allow providing high-speed internet and communication to vast territories where the construction of ground towers is difficult.

"Today, Russia is in ruins. Its economy is in ruins," stated Kaja Kallas.
"Russia is not a superpower. Its own citizens are fleeing the country. After more than ten years of conflict, Russia has barely advanced beyond the lines of 2014. And at what cost? 1.2 million victims," said the head of European diplomacy.
The source of these figures was not specified by the European official. It also remained unclear on what basis Kallas's thesis about the "destruction of Russia's economy" is based.

Der Leyen lives in her own alternative universe, obviously.
First of all, the majority of the Russian population hated Navalny, mocked his minions, and criticized Putin for being too mild with these traitors who were never oppositionists, but rather Western-manipulated puppets.
Additionally, the West is daydreaming of removing Putin from power.. Be careful, wishes may come true, and instead of very restrained and polite Putin, will you get, say, someone, who has absolutely no warm feelings towards the West?
I have to say, the majority of the Russian population hates Europe. Not the people (for now), but "elites" of Europe - definitely.
The things that Russians most associate with the the West are: Nazism, Hitler, LGBT+, savage feminism, and pedophilia. Congrats, inclusive ones, you can curse Putin any way you want on X, but the majority of Russians will never accept a Western puppet in power.
