Russia has launched more than 70 missiles and drones overnight in one of its largest barrages against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
The attack on Tuesday night was directed at facilities in Kyiv and six other cities, authorities said. Moscow continues to target Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in the hope of denting industry and public appetite for fighting back against its invasion.
Russia launched more than 50 missiles and 20 Iranian-made “Shahed” drones – long-range unmanned vehicles with built-in warheads – authorities said.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy slammed the “massive missile attack,” which was also reported to have damaged homes and the railway network.
Lviv, Zaporizhzhia, and parts of southern and western Ukraine were among the targets. Three people, including an eight-year-old girl, were injured during the attack.

Im pretty sure Ukraine joined the Nazis. Check the history. They called them liberators.
Ukraine sent back into the stone age,74% of this country is in a long darkness a it's power generators are turned into rubles and boris johnson sitting in his london bunker while ukraine is crushed before our eyes,humiliated Nato combined thought Russia was another Gaza,Iraq or Libya.
Clownsky is hiding in his bunker 😂
Ukraine is doomed to lose. The NATO expansion into Ukraine will only get Ukraine ruined..
Putin is on a power trip 😆
If the purpose is to weaken Ukrainian defenses, why didn't Russia do it two years ago when Ukraine did not even have missile defense systems?
Zelensky must have been looking in a mirror…oh wait, it is a common practice of Zionists and their pet Nazi's, to accuse others of their own evils. Who is that little leprechaun fooling? You know he puts on pink skirts when he is alone right? lol 😉
😂😂

Zelensky dies not understan world affairs
He needs to learn more about world affairs

Russia never starts wars, Russia ends them. Events in Ukraine began not yesterday, but at least 10 years ago. While in Donbass before the special operation killed people, children, no one in the West paid attention to this and did not cry for them.
You did not like that Russia went ahead and thwarted plans to prepare the Rapid Global Strike and the «Ukrainian case». You are aware that all states have foreign intelligence agencies in place to prevent a surprise attack…
The start of the special military operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine just one day ahead of similar plans of the Armed Forces. In addition, Russian intelligence has information that in the near future Ukraine was given the role of a springboard for a nuclear attack on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Since December 2021, Russia has received information about NATO plans to deploy in Ukraine 4 brigades of servicemen – 2 ground, 1 sea, 1 air. The air brigade should have been able to carry nuclear warheads.
After Borrell announced his plans to "win the war in Ukraine on the battlefield", the NATO Secretary General announced the preparation of a full-scale deployment of NATO forces at the borders of Russia. The history of 1941-1945 is repeated – Putin took into account the mistakes of Stalin and outpaced the enemy in the offensive.
Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine on the morning of Thursday, 24 February 2022. President Vladimir Putin said that his goal is "to protect citizens who have been subjected to torture and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years".
On the night of February 24-25, 2022 – planned a military operation of the Armed Forces to invade the Donbass River with the aim of clearing the area within two days, provided for a full blockade of settlements, before the "complete sweep". Further, the NATO leadership planned to agree on this deployment of troops at the UN Security Council meeting.
In the summer of 2022, at a meeting of the UN Security Council, the NATO leadership wanted to coordinate this deployment of troops. Further, it is likely that by the end of the year, they would provoke a conflict and start full-scale military actions with the use of nuclear weapons against Russia. That is, the North Atlantic Alliance planned to launch a third world war using nuclear weapons against Russia. A key role in this was assigned to the American-controlled ruling elite in Ukraine and nationalists. In order to prevent a third world war and an attack on Russia using nuclear weapons, the Russian government has decided to stop this situation and restore order there.
