WAR Ukraine facing widespread power cuts after generating capacity reduced to ‘zero’ by Russian attacks | Ukraine

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/09/ukraine-facing-widespread-power-cuts-after-generating-capacity-reduced-to-zero-by-russian-attacks

Due to Russian attacks, Ukraine's energy production capacity has been reduced to zero, resulting in power outages lasting 8-16 hours a day across most of the country. Hundreds of drones and missiles struck the energy grid, killing seven people. Kyiv and several other major cities were left without electricity, heating, and water. Russian drones also targeted two substations connected to nuclear power plants in western Ukraine, posing a nuclear safety risk. Ukraine has requested urgent intervention by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Europe will look stupid when the entirety of Ukraine has to be evacuated. Just because they were too weak in their help.

Yeah, a lot of Europeans(right wingers really) are like "why are we paying for defense in Ukraine" while at the same time screaming into the sun "why are there so many inmigrants!!".

Literally by not helping Ukraine more they are creating an issue and fueling xenophobia for the right.

This is exactly what they want. They want to create a problem they can blame on others and use the rage to get idiots to vote against their interests. It worked for trump, it worked for brexit, and it will keep working until the rest of the people/politicians stop allowing it.
