Russian Attack Leaves Over a Million in Ukraine Without Electricity

🔥 Power plants and a major hydroelectric dam were damaged in what Ukrainian officials said was one of the war’s largest assaults on energy infrastructure.

A large-scale Russian missile and drone attack damaged power plants and caused blackouts for more than a million Ukrainians on Friday morning, in what Ukrainian officials said was one of the war’s largest assaults on energy infrastructure.

At least five people were killed in the assault, and 23 others were injured, according to Ukrainian officials.

The strikes came as ​the Kremlin escalated its rhetoric over the conflict, saying that Russia was “in a state of war” in Ukraine — and moving beyond the euphemism “special military operation” — because of the West’s heavy involvement on the Ukrainian side.

In Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, traffic lights were not working and the water supply was disrupted. A fire raged at the country’s largest hydroelectric dam, in the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia. A few dozen miles to the southwest, a power line supplying a Russian-occupied nuclear power plant was temporarily knocked out.

“The enemy is now launching the largest attack on the Ukrainian energy sector in recent times,” Herman Halushchenko, Ukraine’s energy minister, said on Facebook. “The goal is not just to damage, but to try again, like last year, to cause a large-scale failure of the country’s energy system.”

The Ukrainian Air Force said that Russia had launched 63 Iranian-made “Shahed” attack drones and 88 missiles in the assault, including hypersonic weapons that fly at several times the speed of sound. The air force said it had shot down most of the drones but fewer than half of the missiles, a low interception rate compared with previous assaults that may reflect Ukraine’s dwindling air-defense stocks.

“Russian missiles have no delays, unlike aid packages for Ukraine,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said on social media, an apparent reference to the $60 billion in military assistance for Ukraine that Republicans in the United States Congress have held up for months.

“‘Shahed’ drones have no indecision, unlike some politicians,” Mr. Zelensky added.

Russia’s defense ministry said that Friday’s attack was part of a wider series of strikes in retaliation for Ukrainian attacks on Russia’s border regions this month. The ministry said the strikes had targeted Western-supplied equipment and weapons in addition to Ukraine’s energy facilities.

Little Britain: The Commentators Don’t Know The Name of The Ethiopian Winner, But the Kenyan Loser

😱 ትንሿ ብሪታንያ፡-የሜዲያ ዘጋቢዎች የተሸናፊዋን ኬንያዊት ስም ብቻ እንጂ የኢትዮጵያዊቷን አሸናፊ ስም ፈጽሞ አያውቁም

🏃‍ በእንግሊዝ ሌስተር (ቅዳሜ፣ መጋቢት 16 ቀን 2024) በ ‘ፖዲየም ፭/5 ኪሎሜትር የጎዳና ላይ ሩጫ ፌስቲቫል’ ወቅት በቀጥታ ሥርጭት ሲያስተላልፉ የነበሩት ዘጋቢዎች የቅኝ ግዛት ሴት ልጃቸውን ‘ካሮሊን ንያጋ’ የሚለውን ስም ለ፲፭/15 ደቂቃ ያህል ደጋግመው ያነሳሉ፣ ነገር ግን የኢትዮጵያዊቷ አሸናፊ አስማረች አንለይን ስም አንዴም ሲጠሩ አልተሰሙም።

አስማረች አንለይ ካሮላይን ንያጋን በመጨረሻዎቹ ሜትሮች ላይ በሚያስገርም 14፡59 ደቂቃዎች አሸንፋለች ፥ ይህም አዲስ የጎዳና ሩጫ አዲስ ክብረ ወሰን ነው።

ውድድሩን በቀጥታ ሥርጭቱ እየተከታተልን በነበረበት ወቅት ከካርሎኒ ኒያጋ ቀጥሎ ያለችው ሁለተኛ ሯጭ ማን እንደሆነች ለማወቅ ራሳችንን ደጋግመን እንጠይቅ ነበር። ሙሉው የአጨራረስ ዝርዝር እስኪወጣ ድረስ ማን እንደሆነች አናውቅም ነበር። የማጠናቀቂያ መስመር ካሜራዎች እንኳን ተበላሽተው ነበር።

እንዴት አስቂኝ ነው! ይህ እንዴት ሊሆን ይችላል?

ለማንኛውም የፌስቲቫሉ አዘጋጆች ድንቅ ስራ ሰርተዋል፣ የጎዳናውን ሩጫ መመልከት አስደሳች ነበር።

ከተሳተፉት ፩/1,000 ሯጮች እና ታዳሚዎች ጋር፣ በግምት ፳/20,000 የሚገመቱት የቀጥታ ስርጭቱን የተመለከቱ ሲሆን ይህም እስከዛሬ ከተዘጋጀው ትልቁ የፖዲየም አምስት/5 ኪሎሜትር ዝግጅት ሆኗል።

ነገር ግን፣ የብሪታኒያዎቹ ዘጋቢዎች፣ በርግጥ አንዳንዶቹ በጣም ጥሩ ናቸው፣ ግን አንዳንዶች እንደዚህ አይነት ሞኝ ነገሮችን ደጋግመው ይሰራሉ። እንዲያውም የሚመስለው፣ የበለጠ ክብር እና ማስታወቂያ የሚሰጧችሁ ከቀድሞ/የአሁኑ የእንግሊዝ ቅኝ ግዛት ከመጡ እና ይፋዊ ቋንቋችሁ እንግሊዘኛ ከሆነ ብቻ ነው።

ኤዶማውያንና እስማኤላውያን ኢትዮጵያንና ኢትዮጵያውያንን ሙሉ በሙሉ ቅኝ ሊገዙአቸው ባለመቻላቸው በእውነት ይጠሏቸዋል። የሚፈጥሯቸው ጦርነቶች፣ በሽታዎች፣ ረሃብ ወዘተ በኢትዮጵያውያን ላይ አሁንም የሚጠቀሙባቸው መሳሪያዎች ናቸው።

በወንዶች ምድብ ኢትዮጵያዊው የረዥም ርቀት ሯጭ ሀጎስ ገብረህይወት በተመሳሳይ ፌስቲቫል በብሪታንያ ፈጣን የጎዳና ፭/5 ኪሎ ሜትር ሩጫን አስመዝግቧል። የኦሎምፒክ ሜዳሊያ አሸናፊው እና የአለም ቁጥር አንድ በወንዶች የጎዳና ሩጫ 13፡19 በሆነ ሰዓት በዝግጅቱ ላይ ሁሉንም የብሪታንያ ክብረወሰን አስመዝግቧል።

🏃‍ They keep repeating the name of their colonial daughter ‘Caroline Nyaga’ for 15 minutes, but not a single time ‘Asmarech Anley’, the Ethiopian winner at ‘Podium 5K Festival’ in Leicester, England (Saturday, March 16, 2024).

Asmarech Anley pips Caroline Nyaga to take the win in an incredible time of 14:59 – a new course record.

While we were watching the live broadcast of the competition, we kept asking ourselves who the second runner behind Carlonie Nyaga was. We didn’t know who she was until the final list was released. Even the finish-line cameras set up was messed up.

How ridiculous! How is that possible?

Anyways, the organizers of the festival did a wonderful job, it was entertaining to watch the road Running.

Alongside the 1,000 runners who took part and spectators in attendance, an estimated 20,000 watched the live stream, making it the biggest Podium5K event organized to date.

But, British commentators, of course, some are great, but some do these kinds of silly things repeatedly. In fact, it seems as though, they only give you more respect and publicity if you came from a former/ current British colony and your official language is English.

The Edomites and Ishmaelites do genuinely Hate Ethiopia and Ethiopian because they were not able to fully colonize them. Fabricated wars, diseases, starvation etc are the weapons they still are using against Ethiopians.

In the male category, Ethiopian long-distance runner Hagos Gebrhiwet recorded the fastest road 5k ran in Britain at the same Festival. The Olympic Medalist and world number one for men’s road running clocked a time of 13:19 at the event setting an all-comer British record.
