Ukraine's state power grid operator said several high-voltage facilities across the country had been hit in missile attacks. Officials also said they ordered emergency shutdowns of electricity across the country following the attacks on infrastructure.
Can’t be true. Russia is long since out of such weapons.
Anton Gerashchenko,(Above post) is an adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, shared a screenshot on Twitter of an air-raid alert website in Ukraine. Almost ever region was marked in red. ‘Air raid alert all over Ukraine,’ he wrote. He said Ukrainians are advised to take shelter
NATO member Romania on Friday denied Russian missiles crossed its airspace on their way to Ukraine after Kyiv said Moscow unleashed a ‘massive’ attack from the air.
Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces, said two Russian Kalibr missiles launched from the Black Sea had flown through the airspace of Moldova and NATO member Romania before entering Ukraine.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said these missiles were a challenge to the military alliance and to collective security.
For military alliance NATO - of which Romania is a member - does not want to see any further escalation to the conflict, and will take measures to ensure it is not drawn into a direct conflict with Russia.

“Let me repeat: we did not start the military activities, we are trying to end them,” the president said in a meeting with aviation industry executives in Moscow. Ukrainian nationalists first resorted to force in 2014, with the coup d’etat in Kiev, followed by events in Crimea and in Donbass, he argued.
“They started the war,” Putin said. “For eight years, that war continued – a war to exterminate people who live there, who feel themselves related by blood to Russia and Russian culture. How long were we supposed to tolerate that?”

Can’t be true. Russia already had this thing won 10 months ago.
Is this going to be the “Mother of All Offensives”?
More fake news from Ruzzia since Putin ran out of soldiers , weapons and food 5 months ago
What utter nonsense! The popular rebellion in 2014 was an internal Ukrainian affair and none of Russia’s business. As for Donbas and Crimea, it was the Russians who initiated military actions with their invasion of those territories. And again it must be pointed out, in Donbas the Russian population is the minority. They can feel themselves related to Russia as much as they want but they have no right to slice a part of Ukraine off, especially a part that has a Ukrainian majority. The Russians are not a superior race that can impose themselves over other ethnic groups. Those who think that they can are the real Nazis.
“The popular rebellion in 2014 was an internal Ukrainian affair”
Laughable, perhaps willful ignorance.
The popular rebellion in 2014 was an internal Ukrainian affair and none of Russia’s business.
One that the USA sponsored to the tune of 1.5 billion, and chose the next leader and told Svoboda how many wpuld have to be killed on the Maidan square to get the USA to get in the mix.
