EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Russian forces just launched a massive attack on a thermal power plant that belongs to DTEK, Ukraine’s largest private energy company. The power plant has now stopped generating electricity. While I was in Ukraine in July, I saw this side of Russia's war against Ukraine with my... own eyes. After driving back from Kharkiv, where I passed gas stations that had been destroyed in recent Russian drone strikes, I visited a DTEK Group power substation outside of Kyiv that Russian forces have been working to destroy since 2022. Despite multiple missile attacks, Ukrainians rebuilt the facility and got it back up and running. The purpose of the visit was to understand how Russia is systematically targeting Ukraine's critical energy infrastructure. The Russians attack not just military sites, but the systems ordinary people rely on every day to keep the lights on. On the way to the substation, there was an air raid alert. We immediately had to follow the site's emergency protocol because Russia continues targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure. We immediately rushed into a bomb shelter beneath a nearby school as the sound of explosions could be heard nearby. The safest place we could seek shelter was inside the bomb shelter for a local school that is next to DTEK, because Ukrainian children have to hide there whenever Russia launches missiles and drones. These kids aren't on a battlefield. They're trying to go to school. This wasn't a drill. I experienced firsthand what it's like to have your day interrupted because Russia is trying to terrorize an entire country. I met with the energy workers and grid operators who keep Ukraine's lights on. They told me about the brutal attacks on their energy grid last winter, how Russia deliberately tried to leave millions of civilians without heat and electricity, and why they're worried about the coming winter, especially if Ukraine doesn't urgently receive enough air defense. What struck me most was their patriotism. Each of these workers understands they could become a target simply by going to work. Yet, they keep showing up, because they believe keeping the lights on in Ukraine is part of defending their country from Putin’s aggression. Americans should pay attention to what's happening and how Putin is terrorizing Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Ukraine's experience is a reminder that energy security is national security. Critical infrastructure can become a battlefield, and protecting it is essential for any nation. There is a lot we can learn from Ukraine. WATCH my full interview at DTEK here: 👇🏻show more

How much did they pay you for your epiphany? Ukraine was one of the most corrupt countries in the world prior to the Russian invasion. Zelensky is a crook. Trump has his number. This war can end tomorrow if Zelensky was serious about negotiations.

Ukraine: (Attacking Russian energy infrastructure) Russia: (Retaliating against Ukraine energy infrastructure) You: Russia is terrorizing Ukraine's oligarchs.

People continue to be confused about what war actually means…once you abandon diplomacy and allow war to proliferate…all bets are off…Zelensky has lied time and time again about agreements for peace talks..arguably Putin as well…both leaders suck and “the people” suffer…US/Nato policy led to this war and US politicians kept it going for their own selfish reasons…

Why didn't you do to Russia and speak to Russians? Those who've had to flea to Russia die to Ukraine refusing to end the war because zelensky and his friends have skimmed billions. Do some research into Ukraine. They are not who you think. You stand with Jews, so why Ukraine?

Are you Ukrainian or American I can’t understand

Does Ukraine pay you more to post than israel?

Big fan bro t why are you dumping for Zelensky? He has stolen hundreds of million in US taxpayer funds and USA puppet of the left and the people you claim to fight. No accusing just asking the question. Zelensky is not a friend of this administration

No one cares about Ukraine anymore Laura, quit grifting. It's over.

You've become a Ukrainian mouthpiece.

Damn she pulled a Shawn Ryan smh

Ok, but if you had gone to Russia you would experience Ukraine targeting Russian energy infrastructure, and Russian children cowering in bomb shelters for fears of Ukraine drone and missile attacks. In other words: it's a major war. Attempts to paint the wretched Zelinski-globo-homo regime as some how the moral characters in this drama are unpersuasive for those of us who have been paying attention since the beginning.

X Warrior 😂

But Donny says its Ukraines fault??? What do we believe anymore????

🫡💪💪💪✍️🫶🙏🤝👍

It’s fucking war Laura It’s one Ukraine can never win Yet, @ZelenskyyUa has refused to negotiate, has fucked up every agreed upon deal and literally started the war It’s fucking war

Loomer, quit the bullshit. You bark about freedom when it fits Trump’s agenda, then go dead silent when it doesn’t. You ain’t some freedom fighter you’re a damn political lapdog. #StandWithUkraine

your friend is responsible for this

You cannot take either side…..people are suffering…what can u do…

Ukraine has a dictator and a spokesperson

Save the tears. Whether you realize it or not, you are being played by Zelensky.

Z is smart enough to realize that targeting Russia's energy (refineries) will result in them retaliating as well. Perhaps he doesn't realize this?

Trump must be shitting his diaper with excitement

Putin's regime will always exist, causing problems for ordinary people. The threat from Russia will disappear only after a reset in Kremlin.

Didnt Ukraine hit russia energy 1st

What is wrong with you Laura Loomer? What are you trying to do, go against our President in order to keep the war going? You should be investigated heavily! @FBIDirectorKash @PeteHegseth @POTUS

Neither side are the good guys.

Amazing how you refuse to call out your patron Elon musk, who is on a mission to destroy Ukraine in service of Russia.

i'd love to read this but i don't trust you anymore. You are a "whatever asset they want you to be" to push their agenda. GFY

Zelenskyy needs to hold elections and let the people decide on his fate. This war is senseless.

You are a demon

SUUUUURE LARRY suuuure….‼️ Putin bad. Cokehead midget good. Disagree, you Russian bot or Jew 👍

DTEK owned by Renat Akhmedov (Ahmad) a muslim brotherhood associated businessman and partner to Zelensky .. Zelensky envoy Rustam Umerov is Turkish agent, muslim brotherhood from tatar origin- who are you protecting ?

Sorry…you just lost me….Russia is not the enemy…the little ass wipe dictator of Ukraine is….are you now getting some $$$$$$ funneled your way?
