“Victory Day” in russia | Missile strike hits Ukrainian power grid | Ukraine Update: Day 805
Video Summary
I’m reporting on the devastating consequences of Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, now in its 85th day. In the latest escalation, Russia has launched attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, leading to power outages and disruptions to vital services like hospitals, water treatment, and communication networks. This is not only causing hardship for civilians, but also impacting Ukraine’s food production, with exports dropping by 15%. The International Food Supply chain is being disrupted, leading to shortages and rising prices worldwide, with the worst effects felt in developing countries reliant on Ukrainian exports for food security.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian Defenders are successfully targeting Russian logistics and fuel supplies, including a recent strike on a Russian oil storage facility in the occupied Luhansk region, causing a massive fire. In a propaganda move, Russia has falsely claimed to represent Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, urging citizens to report acquaintances who might be involved in “mining” activities. This attempt to discredit Ukraine’s war effort has backfired, given the country’s well-known compassion for animals.
As the world witnesses Russia’s devastating attacks on Ukraine, the international community is condemning the country’s actions. The EU has condemned Russia’s Sham elections, which violate international law, and 21 EU countries have boycotted the results. As Russia prepares to mark its “Victory Day,” it’s essential to acknowledge that the West is not “Nazi,” as claimed by the Russian regime, but rather a collection of nations fighting for democracy, freedom, and human rights. Tonight, I’ll discuss the Russian narrative on Ukraine, how it’s impacted Ukrainian identity, language, and culture, and why it’s crucial to shine a light on the truth.
