🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡Ukraine is preparing for a blackout. Several thermal power plants were put out of action by rocket strikes.

🇺🇦 Following the last few days of strikes, it has been common among some in the West (Peter Zeihan, etc) to accuse Russia of deliberately targeting residential buildings and homes. Meanwhile Ukrainian media reveals what is really going on:

“We were shooting at these drones, and therefore they deviated a little from the course. And if we had not shot, they would have hit right on target. To a strategic facility with four pipes, which was located 50 meters across the road, ”the Ukrainian“ militant”said on the air.

It should be noted that earlier the adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Gerashchenko insistently demanded that civilians with firearms shoot at drones. But the Minister of Internal Affairs Denis Monastyrsky himself asked the inhabitants of the country not to try to shoot down drones from firearms on their own.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian telegram channel:

Our source reports that damage to the energy system of Ukraine is already 40%.

Colleagues correctly write that the unified energy system is facing the risk of complete collapse. If the Russians continue to hit non-stop, then in a week there will be nothing left.

Add to this the shortage of spare parts and components, and you will understand that Ukraine will soon be in a “complete blackout”. That's when the hardest times begin. This also applies to western Ukraine, which hoped that they would carry over and all the hardships, as usual, would fall on the south-east of Ukraine.

🇩🇪🇺🇦 The German authorities have decided not to exchange the hryvnia for the euro anymore. Why? This decision was made due to the fall in demand for the Ukrainian currency. Thus, the hryvnia ceases to be a convertible currency. October 30 has been declared the last day in Germany when Ukrainians will be able to exchange their savings in hryvnias for euros. Soon other EU countries will stop exchanging the hryvnia. If they believed in the future of the Ukrainian economy, they would not take such a step, but now everything is becoming clear.

🇷🇺 Apparently, the final decision has been made on Ukraine. New maps were drawn, new plans were made. It is a pity that not publicly, but personnel changes were made. At the same time, the system of command and control of troops has changed and continues to change, and the fighters and commanders in the field have learned a lot and gained experience. In the coming weeks, the Ukrainian army will face unpleasant, deadly surprises, and by the end of next month we will understand the overall plan and its scope.
