Come on TR! even the BBC has confirmed the power station has been destroyed near Kyiv.

Ukraine has no air defence and is being demolished.

[@kevinquilliam1532]

Does this mean Ukraine is winning ?🤔

[@widerje]

If the military is forcing men to fight, is not a good indicator of success. Ukraine Cannot win, unconditional surrender approaches, negotiations are needed.

Russian Armed Forces incinerated one of the largest power stations in Ukraine. Footage showed a fire raging inside the coal fired Trypilska Thermal Power Plant (TPP), which supplies half of Kyiv’s energy. Flames engulfed the entire building in the early hours of this morning, ‘completely destroying’ it. Plumes of black smoke reached the sky above the Ukrainian capital as the station continued to burn for hours after the strike. There were no casualties.' Energy facilities were also struck in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Lviv regions, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power. At least 10 drone strikes damaged infrastructure in Kharkiv, and Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba said more than 200,000 people in the region were left without power. He said Russia was ‘trying to destroy Kharkiv’s infrastructure and leave the city in darkness’. Judging of the attacks on Kyiv, Bild editor Julian Röpcke said Ukraine has run out of missiles for Patriot and Iris-T and has exhausted most other air defense stocks.

If ukraine was only firing 15 patriot interceptors a day since the war began they would have gone through over 10,000 interceptors and only 10,000 patriots have been produced to date and they arent all in ukraine. Does that seem encouraging to you now that we are going on year 3?
