Russia up until now has mostly done what they could to avoid hitting civilian infrastructure in the Ukraine. But after losing some territory in the Kharkov region, it looks as if they are changing their strategy. Blackouts are being reported across the Ukraine following what were apparently cruise missile strikes from Russia’s ships.
RT:
Multiple regions of southeastern Ukraine suffered electricity shortages and blackouts late on Sunday.
President Vladimir Zelensky has said the cause was missile attacks by Moscow on “critical infrastructure.”
Full blackouts have hit Kharkov and Donetsk regions, Zelensky said in a social media post, apparently referring to the Ukrainian-controlled part of Donetsk People’s Republic. Sumy, Dnepropetrovsk, Poltava, Zaporozhye and Odessa regions have been hit by partial blackouts, according to the president, who blamed the incident on “Russian terrorists.”
So, far Moscow has remained silent on the matter, neither confirming nor denying its involvement. Still, the incident has been preceded by a reported launch of multiple cruise missiles from Russian ships positioned in the Black and Caspian Seas.
The pro-Ukrainian shills are all up in arms after this, even though the Ukrainians have spent the past month shelling a nuclear power plant and risking a major disaster.
Russia hits Ukrainian critical infrastructure. Power stations were targeted, causing widespread electricity outages. This is an act of desperation following Russia’s immense losses and retreat in eastern Ukraine. Even with their terrorist tactics, they are doomed to lose this war

The extent of the strikes isn’t yet known but Kharkov and other major cities have lost power.
This could be a sign that Russia is finally going to bring their full power to bare in the region. They’ve only used a small portion of their military power in this special military operation. This war would have been over months ago had they used their full resources and weren’t careful about doing damage to civilians and civilian infrastructure.
