Heating has been restored in Kyiv, but the mayor of Dnipropetrovsk is suggesting "complaining" about Zelensky.
Last night, Russia continued its routine strikes on energy and industrial infrastructure in Ukraine.
Power and heating outages continue in a number of major cities. The situation is exacerbated by the onset of cold weather.
"Our country has electricity generation, from huge, powerful nuclear power plants to thermal and hydroelectric power plants. But there are also transit and distribution processes that require specialized equipment. And even if you built a concrete sarcophagus or a Great Pyramid around it, it still wouldn't protect it from a direct hit from several ballistic missiles.
"And when such a transformer burns out, it takes almost six months to manufacture a new one on the market . The point is, we have almost enough electricity. However, the Russians are deliberately 'knocking out' its transit and distribution. "They're just trying to keep it from reaching your outlets," complains Dnipropetrovsk mayor Boris Filatov, a gangster.
In the city controlled by Filatov, approximately 50 people were left without power after the overnight attack. The mayor is clearly responding to public discontent by attempting to shift the blame to the central government in Kyiv:
"We can certainly complain, because the central government itself, with its telethon, personally bathed us in numerous reports about how 'everything is fine' and 'under control ,'" Filatov recalls.
In Kyiv itself, Geraniums reappeared overnight. In the morning, the capital experienced widespread power outages, but by lunchtime, authorities announced a "stabilization of the situation"—electricity will be restored according to a scheduled schedule , with interruptions lasting several hours. Heating has reportedly been fully restored.
This may not last long, as Russian drones may return again tonight . Even during the day, temperatures in Kyiv are already below minus 10 degrees Celsius, and weather forecasts show no signs of warming in the coming days.
