Kharkiv strikes: Russia destroys more Ukrainian energy plants

The Ukrainian region of Kharkiv has been under relentless Russian bombardment in the past two days.
Air raid sirens and explosions could be heard from Kharkiv city early on Thursday morning.
The Mayor says it was struck by Russian missiles.
On Wednesday, three people were killed in another missile attack in the town of Lyptsi in northern Kharkiv.
Russian missile and kamikaze drone strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure have escalated recently, damaging or destroying up to 80% of the country’s thermoelectric power plants and half of its hydro stations.
Russia says the attacks are revenge for Ukrainian operations inside Russia, which have targetted oil refineries deep inside its territory.

Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford reports from Ukraine's Kharkiv region.

The young ukrainian soldiers should surrender and protect their own lives and not fight for the US Administration and the EU 😢😢😢😢😢

[joshi]

Amazing how accurate the missiles are preventing collateral damage. USA should learn from this.

[teachers_fb]

Russia 🇷🇺 will have to reclaim its lost historic territories including Ukraine.

[shahid_saiyed]

Russia has a full right to defend itself 🇷🇺

[mikejohn]

I dunno why Ukraine thought it was a good idea to attack inside Russia just to score some media point like why wht is the goal

[zetamale]

Had the USA/Biden kept his nose out of this, none of this would've happened.

[TKassa]

Didn't Comedisky said they shot them down?

[IStandWithRussiaZOV]

At least Russia isn't treating Ukraine/Ukrainian like Israx treating Gaza and the Palestinian people or how we/US treated Pakistan Afghanistan Iraq Syria Libya Somalia oh wait that's different isn't 🤔

[Chinunit]

Zelensky thought he could get away with destroying Russian oil production and airfields.

[Herodotus__]

Russia learned well attacking energy Infrastructure from the US.

[woody_]

We can see clearly that Russia is getting more serious about this war.

[sareeyemanusqaame]

Russia is extremely too easy on Ukraine.

[ctedota]

Well this is nothing what could happen to Ukraine if they keep fighting for West. There will be consequences.

[shubankersharma]

The istanbul deal really looks desirable now doesnt it?😂

[lifessogood]

Ukraine already know about consequences..

[bryanrascicot]

Ukraine had a chance at piece, instead he choose to listen to the Western war machine.

[hendrikbanhardt]

If the Ukraine doesn’t almost IMMEDIATELY try to find a solution (other then military) to end this there won’t be anything left to discuss about - it’s a shame all these people are sacrificed by some old men for NOTHING!

Sad world - 😢😢

[uniquefall]

1. "How could such consequences unfold despite the presence of the world's most advanced air defence system, 266 NATO satellites, and $400 billion worth of armaments pointed towards Russia❓" 🤔💥
2. "Where are we now❓"

[samanthgail]

60 more billion? it takes a human 11 days to count to 1 Million. it takes 100 years to count to a billion. think about that when you throw the B word around.

Meanwhile, Zelensky fled to Lithuania to attend a Summit 😄😂
