Ukraine's Energy Plants Seek Air Defenses
Newsmax ^ | May 3, 2024 | Associated Presstitu

Posted on 05/03/2024 6:54:21 AM PDT by Navy Patriot

Ukrainian energy workers are struggling to repair the damage from intensifying airstrikes aimed at pulverizing Ukraine’s energy grid, hobbling the economy and sapping the public’s morale. Staff worry they will lose the race to prepare for winter unless allies come up with air-defense systems like the U.S.-made Patriots to stop Russian attacks inflicting more destruction on already damaged plants.

"Rockets hit fast. Fixing takes long," Oleh said in limited but forceful English.

DTEK says it has lost 80% of its electricity-generating capacity in almost 180 aerial attacks since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. It estimates that repairing all the damaged plants would take between six months and two years — even if there are no more strikes.

Oh, you mean they’re concerned about more ‘tit for tat’?

smh

Now France is poised to send troops if the uke lines are breached.

We’re barreling toward an irreversible escalation with global impacts, and the zeepers cheer it on.

Perhaps we should all be developing a distributed, interconnected grid that will be more robust against interruption. It’s a wonder that our open and easy to reach facilities...water distribution, electric grids, airports, etc. haven’t been attacked. My local airport has a runway that ends a few hundred feet from easily accessible roads. Anyone could fly an explosive laden drone into an engine and be gone in sixty seconds.

We are importing terrorists and relocating them to states all over America. Each Muslim is like a drop of water in an ocean and the terrorists are sharks swimming in that ocean. They don’t care that this is a better place to live than where they came from. Their mission is to convert the entire world to Islam. (Of course, the entire reason it’s better to live here than where they came from is we aren’t controlled by a ninth century religion/governance system.) These aren’t rocket scientists. They’re peasant warriors from the ninth century, but with twenty-first century technology.

……yeah, right, this administration has already pleaded with St Z to stop hitting Russian oil refineries, it is raising the cost of gas worldwide AND here in the U.S….AND filling Vlads pockets with more cash.

Just what is it with people like you? …. you keep trying to commit suicide.

We are going to start wasting irreplaceable 8 million dollar Patriot missile shooting down Russian gravity bombs , most of which were made as far back as the 1940s and 1950s, that have been retrofitted with GPS based glide bomb packages similar to longer range versions US JDAM kits.

“since the start of Russia’s FULL-SCALE invasion”

Thanks for pointing out this was AP, as I was going to again comment on the Dog Whistle “Full-Scale Invasion” again being used, this time at Newsmax.

Still, should Newsmax permit this level of Neocon propaganda to be included in their articles?

A bit over the top, but I do agree, the Russian government lies FAR LESS than Ukrainian government.

Thanks again for getting this right.

————
I side with Truth. Even the corrupted, senile, evil old man in the WH gets a thing or two correct….in this case, the last thing he needs is spiking gas prices before
November.

That said, I fully expect the Biden administration to keep flushing taxpayers money down the Ukie toilet till elections, at which time he pulls another Afghanistan II debacle.

But as recent developments on the frontlines are showing, Vlad should be on the East Bank of the Dniepner by election time ( hopefully), and somehow have liberated Odessa.

I don’t believe Newsmax should, however Newsmax could care less about my opinion, and they seem to like bending over for the Associated Presstitutes.

By the way, I was able to track down the Associated Presstitute author, none other than Jill Lawless!
