🇷🇺💥🇺🇦 The Russian Armed Forces have launched a mass attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Part 1

The energy infrastructure has been a regular target for Russian forces, being hit by both missiles and kamikaze drones multiple times. However, tonight marks the first time since March 2023 that the Russian Armed Forces have carried out a comprehensive attack, resulting in significant damage to large and small energy facilities across Ukraine.

➡️The first reports of strikes began coming in from the Ladizhynska Thermal Power Plant: several steam boilers were damaged by the strike, leading to a powerful fire that spread to the machinery compartment. Even if some boilers survived, it's unlikely the facility will operate fully anytime soon.

➡️In the Odessa region:

The main strike hit the Usatovo 330 kV Substation — a fire erupted at the site, destroying two 330/110 kV autotransformers. While the substation can redistribute energy received from the Moldovan Thermal Power Plant and the South Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant to neighboring substations at 330 kV — Novoodessa and Adjalyk, they were also targeted: one of each of the 330/110 kV autotransformers was hit.

Currently, the total transformer capacity with self-generation is only a quarter of what it used to be — around 321.5 MW (out of 1447 MW). This is critically insufficient for Odessa.

➡️Kharkov region:

The main strikes hit the Zalyutino 330 kV Substation and the Losevo 330 kV Substation - after last year's strikes, these substations worked as a single unit, and Ukrainian energy workers started using Losevo as an alternative/reserve transmission path for electricity:

At Zalyutino Substation, all three 330/110 kV autotransformers were destroyed by the strikes of two missiles. The switchgear was demolished. The substation can now only operate for transit electricity at 330 kV and 110 kV;
Losevo 330 kV Substation: struck by at least 4 missiles — at least two out of four 330/110 kV autotransformers were destroyed. The Auxiliary Power Unit building and high-voltage equipment suffered serious damage.

ℹ️It's important to note that Zalyutino Substation plays a crucial role in the entire region's power system — it connects the Zmiyivska Thermal Power Plant and TEC-5 with the central part of Ukraine, both of which were also targeted today.

- Zmiyivska Thermal Power Plant: the strike hit the station's machinery hall. At least one turbine with a 215 MW generator is severely damaged.

- TEC-5: Strikes damaged machinery hall No.1, resulting in a significant fire and building damage. Two out of three turbines and a 300 MW generator are seriously damaged.

- Another target of today's Russian military missile attack was TEC-3 in Kharkov, where the distribution device at the 110 kV station and buildings on the premises were damaged by the impact of three missiles.

The city still lacks stable electricity supply, with heating and water shortages in some areas. Electric transport is not running, and there are difficulties with cell phone coverage and railway operations.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 "A hypocritical spectacle by Washington, that does not pressure Israel." – Russian envoy to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, on why they vetoed the US's ceasefire resolution.

Nebenzya claimed the resolution was "increasingly politicized" and contained a "green light" for an "Israeli operation into Rafah".

Nowhere in the US's resolution text was the word 'ceasefire' even mentioned. To which Nebenzya accused Washington of "deliberately misleading the international community".

Nebenzya accused anyone voting in favor of "covering themselves in disgrace".

"I am a subject of Hitler."

Users have spread a video featuring one of the participants of the Latvian SS Legionnaires' march, which took place in Riga.

If you want to be convinced that such things exist in the modern world, simply follow the link to the official Latvian YouTube channel, which shows how they honor the SS heroes.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🏁Ukraine is inevitably moving towards military defeat, despite the assistance of the West - Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Nebenzya.

- The scale of NATO's involvement in supporting Kiev is much broader than Washington and Brussels are trying to present.

- The West urges Kiev to throw more and more Ukrainians into "meat grinders."

- There is ample evidence of direct involvement of NATO countries in the conflict in Ukraine.

- The West has sucked all the resources out of Ukraine and deprived its population of the right to a decent future.

- The irresponsible rhetoric of the West threatens to escalate the Ukrainian conflict into a new phase.

- Zelensky's decision not to hold elections in Ukraine makes him an illegitimate president from May 21st.
