Kyiv says Russia is escalating attacks ahead of nationwide celebrations on May 9 • FRANCE 24

Russia launched a massive missile strike at Ukraine on Saturday (April 27), damaging four power plants in the latest barrage targeting the country's energy supply, officials in Kyiv said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on Kyiv's Western partners to supply more air defence systems to protect his country's skies. Kyiv says Moscow is escalating attacks from the air and on land ahead of nationwide celebrations on May 9, when Russia marks the Soviet victory in World War II.

@@Critic-qn3hg Ignore user-gm4... Putin has more bots and trolls than soldiers left. It's how thay have managed to dupe the dumbest members of the GOP into supporting their propaganda. It backfired because anyone with any sense knows that Putin is responsible,and now NATO has new members and Russia looks very weak. While Russian 'meat wave' attacks and lack of ammunition in Ukraine have helped them advance slowly , at great cost, the Ukrainians are being re-supplied with more advanced weapons and their about to start bringing the f-16s in as their pilots have been training on them for months.

Kiev’s losses of military personnel have surpassed 8,000 over the past week amid Russia’s continued offensive in Donbass. Ukraine’s top military commander, General Aleksandr Syrsky, described the situation on the front lines as “difficult” as he talked with Kiev’s Western backers via video link on Friday. Things “have a tendency to get worse,” he said in a Telegram post reporting on the virtual meeting.

Russia won't report their losses because it's too high. Russia lies about everything.
