Putin Offers Asylum To Zelensky, Russia Hits Ukrainian Facilities In Retaliation For ATACMS Attacks

Russia launched a massive attack Thursday on Ukraine's energy sector, forcing emergency power outages as temperatures dropped to freezing across the country. Ukraine's energy grid has been heavily targeted since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, with Kyiv accusing Moscow of "terror" tactics by trying to plunge Ukrainian cities into darkness and cut off heating to civilians throughout the winter.

The overnight strikes come after two weeks of dramatic escalation that has seen both sides launch new weapons to gain an upper hand ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration in January.

Ukraine's Energy Minister German Galushchenko said power infrastructure was "under massive enemy attack" after a countrywide air alert was issued for incoming missiles. The latest strikes left more than one million homes without power across Ukraine.

Biden and friends are quiet about the challenge 😅

[ericstockler]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! PRESIDENT PUTIN IS VERY SANE!!
SELENSKY HAS LOST HIS MARBLES!!

[blinkspacestudio]

Calling Putin a scumbag wont change the fact that he is far superior in this game. He is 10 steps ahead and has actually shown a lot of resist. I would suggest Ukraine stop firing missiles into Russia. You cant go up against Russia without starting WW3 and no one will allow that to happen.

[obasweibo]

Young boy playing with an old KGB he is learning the hard way

[givenkatlego]

Putin playing russian roulette with the whole west 😂

[chrislopez]

Its a message for zlensky tht his days r numbered if he stayed in kyiv… So west should not blame putin, he was givng zlensky options of leaving or staying..

[davidrobert]

But you claimed to have ability to shoot down any Russian missiles. Prove it now

[esense]

Let the missles speak for themselves 😅

[corashy]

Instead of the U.S excepting the challenge.U.S has Zelensky answering!! Why? The U.S cannot build or bring down the Oresnik. 😅😅😊

[rasheedh]

Zelensky doesn’t like his own words now
“Let the missiles speak for themselves”. 😂😂

[adwest]

Zelensky is losing his mind, he knows time is up

[miles_walker_]

0:35 Zelensky knows if duel plays out in Kyiv, it will be wiped off the map, because theres nothing America can do to stop them😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.... He knows

[bangladeshroyaltrade]

You can't fight a war with begging weapons unless you have the ability to produce them. Comedian Zelensky was dreaming of winning a war with begging weapons, which is exaggerated.

[andrewmorgan]

😅 if you like Trump you probably like Putin also . I think it's a fantastic idea, bring the most advanced air defense to a area pre determined and let's see who's got the best tech, I'm guessing it's Russia

😮the extent of the catastrophe of Ukrainian soldiers is best shown by the exchange of dead soldiers, the last 6 exchanges show that 3236 Ukrainian soldiers were exchanged for 316 Russian ones... up to half a year ago, exchanges amounted to 1/6, and in the last half year 1/10
otherwise, the number of Ukrainian casualties exceeded 680, 000 soldiers, 267, 000 severely wounded without limbs, 63, 000 missing
16300 prisoners
and 236, 000 deserters..
of 1, 867, 000 soldiers who were mobilized and regular soldiers remained
barely 600, 000 soldiers
although there has been massive violent mobilization in recent months, the daily mobilization of 1, 400 soldiers barely keeps up with the daily losses
otherwise, as regards the losses of foreign fighters belonging to companies working for the NATO pact, out of 74, 000 engaged, 36, 000 lost their lives
NATO losses are under a strict ban on publication in the Ukrainian ministry, and according to some sources from the ministry, the highest losses of Polish soldiers are over 7, 000, as well as the loss of the chief general for NATO in Ukraine, Adam Marczek, who was killed in Kiev when a hypersonic missile hit the NATO headquarters when they were killed and numerous senior NATO officers

[BibekKharel-nxyq]

Yes, zelensky should accept the duel challenge if he is really serious about his country rather than teasing Putin...😅

[corashy]

I smell "Fear" . Zelensky knows that no missile system or "laser" can stop the oreshnik. The patriot system was protecting Ukraine when the Oreshnik was launched last time.😊

[lemmyomo]

Just like he offered Asylum to Prigozhin the wagner leader.
