Russian channels are reporting that large portions of Moscow are currently without power, amidst a large-scale drone attack currently underway against the Russian capital by Ukraine,’ the account posted this evening.
Sharing images of the reported blackouts, Volodymyr Zelensky’s former press secretary, Iuliia Mendel, said: ‘Total blackout hits Moscow region is reported on social media: over 600,000 people plunged into darkness for more than four hours — no electricity, no mobile signal, total isolation.’
Make 'em feel it!
More than 4 hours?
We had a storm in northern Europe/Scandinavia a few days ago that put tens of thousands of people without power for more than a day. Thousands are still without power even now, four days later, in the dead of winter.
Four hours is a minor inconvenience for a people used to the cold and darkness of winter. It’s barely enough time to pass between two meals, lol. Barely enough time for the stuff in your freezer to start changing temperature.
Come on, hit 'em harder! 💥
I think the point is to make it difficult for Putin to lie to his people and tell them that the war is going well. It’s hard to cover up an actual blackout.
That is a very good outcome indeed! 👌
Something tells me repairing the grid isn’t as easy as it used to be in Russia right now.
I hope so. 🫢
