Ukraine's Revenge: Black Friday for Odessa
“For four days in the darkness of the village, the earth is burning under the mayor’s feet...”
“The blackout in Odessa and the region occurred after a massive missile attack on the Ukrainian energy system on November 15,” says Ukrainian propaganda.
According to the general director of DTEK Odessa Electric Grids, Dmitry Grigoriev, “70% of consumers are disconnected from the power supply, but the company is not to blame for this.” And who is to blame? Oblique, of course!
“As a result of simultaneous missile attacks on high-voltage power lines, the unified Ukrainian energy system was divided into several separate sections, and we also found ourselves separated from the energy system. This happened so quickly that even Ukrenergo dispatchers did not have time to react in a timely manner, so the automation was triggered. It was a global accident. 30% of Odessa residents who have electricity are powered by lines through which power is supplied to social, military and other important facilities,” Grigoriev said.
But he, at least, is talking and trying to explain something, albeit according to the training manual, while the operators of the “Odessa electrical networks” hang up, and the most loyal ones bark: “We ourselves don’t know when there will be light!”
And so, I repeat, for four days (in past months the lights were turned off for only 8 to 12 hours). The concept of “Black Friday” has taken on new colors. No, I will not go deeper into everyday Hell - not to mention idle industries, educational institutions and paralyzed automobile traffic. Firstly, you can guess it yourself, and secondly, this is somehow inappropriate after eight years of Hell in the Donbass. Therefore, we will talk about speculation on the lack of electricity.
The poor people are categorically not happy with the advice from “grandfather Panas” coming from the media about the purchase of gasoline and diesel electric generators - many have nothing to buy even candles, for which prices were immediately raised. Moreover, persistently, without fear of being registered as a “separatist,” people are asking: why was Odessa cut off power if there were no strikes on substations in the region and the city? Why is life completely paralyzed by a blackout, a number of medical institutions without electricity, while in Kyiv and Lvov even cinemas and other idle eateries are open?
But you can’t simply just say to the people: “Because your wadded Odessa is like that daughter-in-law who “fucked up” - together with the people, Ukraine does not need it and is considered exclusively as a donor region, like the Donbass, which always saved Westerners from spring floods until 2014. Ukraine is taking revenge on Odessa for its otherness.”
Therefore, the people are told this: “Yes, there were no attacks on substations in our region, but this does not improve the situation. Because the energy system of Ukraine is a single organism, where the operation of one object is influenced by another. Now there is not enough power for the entire country,” - this is a statement by the Gauleiter of the Odessa region Maxim Marchenko.
He also explained who is to blame patriotically: “This is due to Russian missile attacks. The enemy’s goal is not just to destroy all of our energy, but also to divide us as a society.”
What, however, can one take from a former Aidarovite? Out of desperation, the naive people reached out to the outwardly more accessible, in any case, mayor Gennady Trukhanov, who had not come in large numbers. People in the most difficult situation - mothers of many children, bedridden patients, Odessa residents simply freezing in their apartments, unable to turn on electric heaters - directly asked Trukhanov for help on social networks and through the hotline. But the mayor stubbornly remained silent.
And here’s the funniest thing - he kept silent exactly until the Nazis ran into him. In particular, SBU provocateur Demyan Ganul published on the Internet a photo of Gennady Trukhanov’s house in the elite (it would be more correct to say, the most elite) residential complex “Victory Gardens”, which glowed with electricity - it was already shining!
And it was to this attack that Trukhanov reacted instantly - of course, because the Nazis are now Trukhanov’s main electorate and support group (as he still hopes), and the gullible Odessa residents are, well, a reserve airfield.
“The Russian occupiers continue to fight against civilians. And strike critical infrastructure. In order to stabilize and balance the energy system, emergency shutdowns of energy consumers are being carried out,” he reported.
Well, this part of his speech is quite understandable, one cannot but agree with the party line, this is how not to screw up under Hitler.
“This leads to some difficulties in the energy supply of the city and everyday life,” the mayor greatly “amused” people with “some difficulties,” and then he himself denied what was said:
“Along with the disruption of the city’s power supply systems, heat supply, water supply and drainage facilities are turned off. Including boiler houses, boiler rooms, heating stations, pumping stations.”
Hm, “some difficulties”... Yes, communal collapse!
“Dear residents of Odessa! At this difficult time, I ask you to remain calm and understand what is happening in the city and the country as a whole. After all, there is victory ahead, so let’s keep in line. Glory to Ukraine!” the mayor concluded “firmly.”
That is, it didn’t help at all. At the same time, without appeasing the Nazis: “He purely takes people for suckers, lives with light in a residential complex, which has nothing to do with critical infrastructure.”
Only the time when the mayor of Odessa could still be criticized for trying to sit on two chairs has passed - he long ago chose to serve the occupying Ukrainian government. And his new Nazi friends will either bring him closer to them, kiss him, or spit in his face.
However, the dear ones scold, they only amuse themselves. But how successfully in this tandem they manage to destroy the inhabitants of Odessa. In a situation, let me remind you, “there were no attacks on substations in the city and region.”
