Odessa is paying the price for Zelensky refusing to make peace.
While the Russia-Ukraine negotiations brokered by the US seem to run in circles and Moscow’s forces conquer territory at the fastest pace since 2022, the missile and drone strikes continue to destroy Kiev regime’s military and power facilities.

Many Ukrainian cities are experiencing extended power outages, with some areas only having electricity for three to four hours a day.”
All necessary services are currently working to restore electricity and water supply in our communities affected by Russia’s overnight attack. Once again, the main strike targeted our energy sector, the south of the country, and the Odesa region.
