Into The Darkness of Ukraine

ALLA AND I JUST LAUNCHED A NEW FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN TO PURCHASE DRONE DETECTORS
Please, support it????????????????
Synelnykove Ukraine is in darkness.Over the weekend, the Russian Federation targeted substations that supply power to the Khmelnytsky and Rivne nuclear power plants, leaving millions of consumers without electricity.Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha noted, these were not random, but well-planned attacks.
The pervasive sense of impunity within the Kremlins leadership has had devastating effects on a country already ravaged by twelve years of war, four of which have been large-scale.The conflict has escalated so much in the past 10 monthsthatmore Ukrainians are starting to believe that the Pilate-like stance of many leaders, mainly that of the White House, has effectively given Russian terrorism free rein.
Its hard to interpretattacks on nuclear power plants that are clearly meant to threaten Europes securityin any other way. Especially when they are carried out by those who illegally occupy and use Europes largest nuclear power plant as a shield, from which they hide behind and launch devastating attacks like those on Ukraine in recent hours. These areterrorist acts in every sense, yet being left with no concrete response.
This explains why the Governing Council of the International Atomic Energy Agency needs to be urgently convened, as requested by Ukraine after its Enerhodar nuclear power plant was once again connected to backup power supplies by Russian militias holding it hostage, and after the Khmelnytsky and Rivne power plants had to reduce their energy output due to the indirect attacks they suffered.
Power surges are so frequent and widespread that they pose a threat to the safety of medical devices, digital services, and traffic flow. Blinding flashes from streetlights suddenly cause blackouts, leading to serious inconvenience, especially for drivers in the eastern parts of the country, where dusk starts around 4 p.m. These intense voltage fluctuations also disrupt water supplies, prompting cities like Kremenchuk to implement time-based water schedules: three hours in the morning from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. (or 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on holidays) and three in the evening from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Recently, as part of an attack on the Koriukiv district, the Russian Federation targeted one of Ukraines largest biomass thermal power plants in Chernihiv. It was less than ten years old, but, as its name Clear Energy implies, it quickly became a standard for Ukrainian cogeneration plants dedicated to achieving energy independence, primarily through local resources, which have grown elevenfold since 2015.
Ukraine responded by attacking the TEC-1 thermoelectric power plant in Voronezh, the largest supplier of heat for residential and industrial users in that city, leaving more than 200,000 Russians without power. This shows how systematic attacks on energy infrastructure have become a new reality in this war. Small-scale actions have turned into a deliberate campaign, worsened by ongoing Russian strikes on Ukraines civilian infrastructure. These are also acts of terrorism. Like the one Idocumentedlive Saturday morning in Dnipro, after a Russian Geran drone crashed into the facade of an apartment building in the Sobornyi Raion residential district. This caused three deaths, 13 injuries, and 28 others (including five children) who were rescued from the rubble of their homes in that neighborhood, which is part of Ukraines third-largest city. Before dawn, Moscow had launched another 457 identical UAVs across the rest of the country, along with 25 Iskander-M ballistic missiles, 10 Iskander-K cruise missiles, three Kalibr missiles, seven Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles, and nine other types.
Five hundred and three missiles in a single night, which, had they fallen on any other European city, would have triggered World War III, but which face no concrete response from the international community because they were directed against Ukraine.The images I capturedimmediately after that brutal attack leave a void even darker than the chasm opened in the facade of a building. And where is my mother? a little girl pulled from the rubble asked the police who saved her. In its innocent spontaneity, its a question that should be asked by those who, in absentia, are plunging Ukraine into darkness through their indolence.
Through our crowdfunding campaign, we aim to purchase and install drone detection devices on each of our vehicles to protect against drone attacks in hot zones.Anti-drone РЕБ devices have proven effective against traditional wireless drones, but are completely ineffective against those connected via fiber-optic cables. We are launching this new campaign to ensure that none of those devices will hit us when we approach the frontlines where we write our articles.Your support will not only protect us but also the civilians and defenders within the devices range.

進入烏克蘭的黑暗

烏克蘭的現場報道????????
斯涅爾尼克沃（Synelnykove）烏克蘭陷入黑暗之中。周末期間，俄羅斯聯邦瞄準了給赫梅利紐克和利恩核電站供電的變電站發動了攻擊，導致數百萬用戶斷電。烏克蘭外交部長安德烈西比哈指出：這些攻擊都不是隨機的襲擊。
克裏姆林宮領導層長期能夠逍遙法外，已對這個在十二年的戰爭中飽受蹂躪的國家帶來了毀滅性影響，其中四年屬於大規模戰爭。在過去的十個月裏，衝突升級得如此嚴重，以至於越來越多的烏克蘭人開始相信，許多領導人，尤其是白宮的彼拉多式立場，實際上給了俄羅斯的恐怖主義免死金牌。
很難以其他方式解讀這些顯然旨在威脅歐洲安全的核電站攻擊，尤其是當這些攻擊是由非法占領並利用歐洲最大核電站為盾牌的罪犯們發動時，他們躲在核電站後麵，對烏克蘭的發動毀滅性襲擊，就如最近幾個小時所做的那樣。這些無疑是恐怖主義行為，但至今沒有收到強烈的回應。
這解釋了為什麽國際原子能機構的理事會需要按照烏克蘭的要求緊急召開會議，此前烏克蘭的埃內羅達爾核電站再次被俄羅斯武裝挾持並將其置於備用電源之下，並以及赫梅利紐克和利恩電廠因遭受間接攻擊而不得不減少能源輸出。

由於電湧非常頻繁且普遍存在，嚴重威脅到醫療設備、數字服務和交通運輸的安全。路燈突然閃爍發出的強烈閃光導致停電，給人們帶來極大不便，尤其是在國家東部地區，那裏傍晚4點左右天色開始變暗。這些劇烈的電壓波動還影響到供水，促使克雷梅尼茨克等城市采取定時供水措施：早上6點到9點（節假日為8點到11點）供水三小時，晚上6點到9點再供水三小時。
最近，作為對科裏烏基夫區襲擊的一部分，俄羅斯還攻擊了位於切爾尼戈夫的烏克蘭最大的生物質熱電廠。該廠隻有不到十年的曆史，但正如其名清潔能源所示，它迅速成為烏克蘭熱電聯產廠致力於實現能源自給的標杆，主要依靠本地資源，自2015年以來增長了十一倍。

烏克蘭作為回應，襲擊了沃羅涅日的TEC-1熱電站，這也是該市最大的住宅和工業用戶供熱供應商，導致超過20萬俄羅斯人斷電。這表明，對能源基礎設施係統性攻擊已成為這場戰爭的新常態。小規模行動演變成有計劃的戰役，俄羅斯對烏克蘭民用基礎設施的持續打擊使情況變得更糟。這些也是恐怖主義行為。
我在星期六早晨在第聶伯羅現場記錄的一次襲擊就是例證：一架俄羅斯的戈蘭無人機撞上了索博爾尼區的一棟公寓樓外牆，導致3人遇難，13人受傷，另有28人（包括5名兒童）從該社區的房屋廢墟中獲救，該社區所在的城市是烏克蘭第三大城市。黎明前，莫斯科在全國範圍內又發射了另457架相同類型的無人機，以及25枚伊斯坎德爾-M彈道導彈、10枚伊斯坎德爾-K巡航導彈、3枚卡利布爾導彈、7枚疾風高超聲速彈道導彈和9種其他類型導彈。
在一個夜晚發射了503枚導彈，如果落在任何其他歐洲城市，早已引發了第三次世界大戰，但由於這些導彈針對的隻是烏克蘭，國際社會至今沒有作出強烈的回應。我在那場殘酷襲擊後即時拍攝的圖片，留下的空洞比已被炸裂的建築外牆裂縫還要深邃。我媽媽在哪裏？一個從廢墟中拉出來的小女孩向救她的警察詢問。這天真純粹的疑問，應由那些因無動於衷、瀆職而讓烏克蘭陷入黑暗的人提出。
