Terrorist Russia has hit civilian infrastructure sites leaving thousands of Ukrainians without electricity, water and heat. Putin plans more of such tactics in the winter and tests the waters. He must get a tough response now. Russia must be recognized state sponsor of terrorism.

After the shameful fleeing of Russian army, Russia is hitting Ukrainian critical infrastructure.

This will harm civilians, not the military. Yet another proof that 🇷🇺 aims to destroy 🇺🇦 and our people.
Russia must be recognized as state sponsor of terrorism all over the world.
Against the backdrop of Ukraine's gains in the east, Russians respond with an act of terror against a critical infrastructure object, heat and power plant No. 5. This has resulted in power cuts in Kharkiv, Sumy, and Poltava oblasts. Electricians are working to restore power asap.

Russia hits Ukrainian critical infrastructure. Power stations were targeted, causing widespread electricity outages. This is an act of desperation following Russia’s immense losses and retreat in eastern Ukraine. Even with their terrorist tactics, they are doomed to lose this war
