The White House on Friday called Moscow’s latest attack on Ukraine’s energy grid an attempt by Russian President Vladimir Putin to “plunge” the country “into darkness.”

“Overnight, Russia launched one of its largest aerial assaults against Ukraine’s energy grid since the war began—depriving many people across the country of heat, water, and electricity in the still cold days of early spring,” said National Security Council Spokesperson Adrienne Watson in a statement.

Putin should claim that Ukraine’s power stations were causing global warming. LOL

When the Z-trans sells is 75 million dollar yachts, his Swiss chalets, and beach front properties to finance his "patriotism", I'll start to think about his demands.

Our founding fathers sacrificed their fortunes and lives to free the colonies from British rule. I demand no less of the Z-monster.

Yes, you can't just do it with bombs like that. You must do it the way we do, by destroying dams and strangling production of fossil fuels! That's the way to starve people you don't like!

Whitehouse will insist that any new/replacement energy be windmills.

No. Globohomo does it with bombs. According to Clinton and Blair, the NATO attack on Yugoslavia was the first “Progressive” War.

Can’t Ukraine illuminate the darkness with some AZOV brigade torchlight processions?

It might get a little too bright. Sure is a whole lot of Nazi's there.

Just like You *White House/leftists) are doing to us.

What makes matters worse for us is that in our case, it's our own government doing it to us. Its only using a different means.

These globalist lefty criminals are too much. Apparently, ukraine is at war with Russia. Do they expect Russia to pay the ukrainian’s electric bills and maintain the ukranian infrastructure? Isn’t the idea of war to kill people and destroy things? Maybe I missed something in my government-school schooling???
