@wartranslated Because there haven't been major breakthroughs for almost 2 years now, it may come as a shock now if Ukraine begins to collapse. Urgent aid is needed from it's partners. Anti-air defence to stabilise. Shells to push back. Come on!

Air defense is an "escalation", huh?

No, Ukraine has LOST. What they really need to do is begin talks with Putin to end it.

U.S. Representative Austin Scott asks why, when Russia bombs critical Ukrainian infrastructure, Ukraine should not attack Kremlin-controlled refineries The answer from Assistant Secretary of Defense Celeste Wallander is "because Ukraine must comply with high standards of warfare, which is part of European democracy." Meanwhile, today, due to Russian strikes, Ukraine lost its largest thermal power plant in Trypillya, which supplies 50% of electricity to the Kyiv region, and other critical infrastructure was attacked.

Drones have attacked one of the largest power plants in Russia — the Kostroma State District Power Station. Local channels report explosions and a fire on their territory. The Kostroma GRES has an installed capacity of 3,720 MW and is the third-largest thermal power plant in the Russian Federation, supplying electricity to a significant part of the country’s central region, including industrial facilities of defense importance.

NEW Russia has completely destroyed the Trypilska Thermal Power Plant in Kyiv. Due to Speaker Mike Johnson's refusal to bring the Ukraine aid bill for a vote, Ukraine doesn't have the capacity to shoot down Russian missiles and drones. Shame on you, Speaker Mike Johnson

A large-scale Russian strike is underway against Kiev forces infrastructure across multiple cities. In Dnepropetrovsk, Russian forces launched a massive attack targeting enemy facilities, causing widespread power outages in both Dnepropetrovsk and Krivoy Rog after a series of strikes. In Kiev, powerful explosions and fires were reported following hits on the TPP-5 and TPP-6 thermal power plants. The attack continues with explosions and gunfire across the city. According to Kiev authorities, debris from downed drones has fallen in several districts. Roughly a hundred Geran drones are still striking targets across various Kiev-controlled regions. In Zaporozhye, a critical energy infrastructure facility was hit and is reportedly burning.

German Chancellor Merz: We are doing everything we can to help Ukraine. However, we are also seeing the ruthless bombardment of Ukraine's entire civilian infrastructure, especially its energy infrastructure. These are daily war crimes being committed by Russia against Ukraine and its people. That is why we are also trying to do everything in our power to bring this war to an end.

Putin has escalated to openly threatening Ukraine’s nuclear power plants. He accused Kyiv of allegedly striking power lines to the Zaporizhzhia NPP and warned of a “mirror response,” saying: “Kyiv should remember there are nuclear plants on Ukrainian territory, and Russia can respond accordingly.”

On the night of July 14, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the Balaklava Thermal Power Plant, triggering a total blackout in Kerch. The city is completely without power. The so-called "Krymenergo" added that Ukrainian drone strikes on power supply facilities had left parts of the peninsula's Northwestern and Eastern energy regions without electricity.

💥 The powerful finale of Zelensky’s speech at the Summit in Ankara: “Ukraine belongs in NATO, because NATO with Ukraine is the alliance of the future” The Ukrainian president also said that Europe urgently needs its own capacity to produce air defence systems and the missiles for them. Zelensky added that Ukraine and its American partners discussed licensing the production of Patriot systems to help better protect Ukrainian lives. And yes — today it was announced that Kyiv had received a major air defence aid package from Canada. On top of that, Ukraine signed a Drone Deal agreement with Estonia.

Meanwhile, Russian Armed Forces strike UAVs continue their operations. Zaporizhzhia is under daily mass attacks by Russian strike drones and FAB bombs. Strikes are constantly alternating against enterprises, gas stations, Ukrainian Armed Forces strongpoints, and railway hubs. Russian forces continue strikes on enemy locomotives using remotely controlled “Geran” drones (recently, 2 were destroyed under a bridge in Zaporizhzhia and 3 in the Kharkiv region). In the Sumy region, a “Geran-2 Seeker” drone struck an energy infrastructure facility in Konotop that was being used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. As a result of the strike, power supply to several industrial facilities in the city was cut off. Ukrainian monitoring channels report additional FAB strikes on the Sloviansk Thermal Power Plant area in the city of Mykolaivka.

The Slovyansk Thermal Power Plant in the city of Mykolaivka, Donetsk Oblast, has ceased all power generation operations today due to the deteriorating security situation and approaching frontline. Currently, the plant is just over 4 km from the frontline and is regularly attacked by Russian FPV drones and artillery. Part of the staff will remain at the plant to ensure the transit of electricity from other regions through the electrical substations there, continue operating cooling ponds no. 1 and 2, and continue supplying water to the city of Mykolaivka. The Slovyansk TPP was the last power plant in Ukrainian-controlled Donbas. This now means that Ukrainian-controlled Donbas will no longer produce any electricity itself, forcing the remaining liveable cities such as Slovyansk and Kramatrosk to source electricity from Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk Oblasts.

russia launched its largest energy attack this year as temperatures hit -21°C across Ukraine. DTEK's thermal power plants were severely damaged – the ninth major strike since October. Thousands in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Odesa lost heating and power in the coldest days of winter. Our engineers are working in sub-zero conditions to restore electricity. When winter becomes the weapon, Ukraine's energy workers stand on the frontline. Share their story.

Both Spain and Portugal, as well as their capitals of Madrid and Lisbon, are currently suffering from a massive power outage, effecting airports, hospitals, power plants, subways, traffic lights, and other critical infrastructure across Western Europe. The cause of the outage is still unknown, though some are suspecting a major cyberattack by a hostile power like Russia.
