The Russians fired missiles from Tu-95 and Tu-22 aircraft and also attacked with attack drones. 15 regions of Ukraine were under attack.
On Monday morning, August 26, 2024, Russia attacked Ukraine with drones and missiles launched from strategic bombers, the Black Sea and MiG-31K fighters.
Explosions were heard in several cities. They were heard in Kyiv, Kharkov, Odessa, Krivoy Rog, Khmelnitsky, Dnipro, Lviv, Lutsk.
Kyiv hydroelectric power station in Vyshgorod hit – these shots were published in many channels, including Z-channels. “Concerning the rowing of the Kyiv hydroelectric power station – there are no threats. It is not worth comparing with the Kherson region” – as the head of the Central Dispatch Center Kovalenko stated, it is impossible to destroy the rowing of the Kyiv hydroelectric power station with missiles, and the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station was blown up from the inside, so it is incorrect to compare with it.
“The Russians are using this topic to spread panic, nothing more,” Kovalenko noted.
The Soviets have not changed for a century – in response to military defeats, they begin to actively destroy civilian infrastructure. This was the case in Afghanistan, Georgia, Syria, and this is what is happening in Ukraine.
The Russians will be happy that although they didn’t get the Kursk region back, the Ukrainians are without electricity, everything is exploding, everything is burning.
The Russians will try to present the attack on Ukraine as an act of revenge for the Kursk region, and the “deep people” will rejoice at this.
“They'll probably try to put a label on it. in the form of an “action of retaliation” – they took revenge for the Kursk region. And the deep people will be so pleased, will jump in the air with pleasure, that “hurray, great, we got our revenge.” Kursk region was not returned, but the Ukrainians are without electricity, everything is exploding, everything is burning.”
The Russians will still be able to “lie a lot, that 100-500 F-16s were destroyed and Himars, warehouses.”
“And on the evening news in Russia, I’m sure that this will be the number one topic today – how they shelled Ukraine.”
Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal reported that 15 regions affected today by Russian massive attack. The enemy used different types of weapons: UAVs, cruise missiles, “Daggers”. There are wounded and dead.
“Russian terrorists have once again targeted energy infrastructure. Unfortunately, there is damage in a number of regions. Ukrenergo is forced to implement emergency power outages to stabilize the system.”he noted.
“The consequences of the Russian strike are currently being eliminated across the country. It was one of the biggest strikes – a combined one. More than a hundred missiles of different types and about a hundred “shahids”. And like most previous Russian strikes, this one is just as vile, aimed at critical civilian infrastructure. In most of our regions, from Kharkiv and Kyiv to Odessa and the western regions. Unfortunately, there are casualties. My condolences to all the families and friends. There are dozens of wounded – everyone is receiving the necessary assistance.
There is a lot of damage to the power grid. But wherever there is a power outage, restoration work is already underway. Repair crews will work around the clock. We will return the electricity.
Putin is true to himself: he is a sick creature – it has long been clear to everyone. But it is also clear: he can only do what the world allows him to do. Weakness, the lack of response solutions feeds terror. And every leader, every partner of ours knows what strong solutions are needed to stop this war and stop it fairly. There can be no limitations in range in Ukraine when terrorists have no such limitations. There can be no limitations in weapons for defenders of life when Russia uses weapons of all types, and “shahids”, and ballistics from North Korea. America, Great Britain, France, other partners have the power to help us stop terror. Solutions are needed.”
