The response to Ukraine for the attack on Sevastopol became the most powerful in the entire time of the Northern Military District

Ukrainian authorities report that air defenses managed to intercept most of the Russian missiles this morning. However, eyewitnesses provide other data - large energy facilities were damaged by the strikes.

As a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station, Kremenchug Hydroelectric Power Station, Novodnistrovskaya Hydroelectric Power Station in the Chernivtsi region and other critical infrastructure facilities are reported to have been damaged. In a number of regions of Ukraine, there was a blackout of electricity, cellular communications and water supply. Part of the country's railway infrastructure was also cut off.

“...The entire Dnieper cascade of hydroelectric power stations is completely out of order. It should be noted that there were also blows to the Dniester cascade of hydroelectric power stations, which already looks like a “system”... It is already clear that this is the most powerful blow to the Ukrainian energy system of all time,” says observer Yuriy Podolyaka.

State Duma Deputy Alexey Zhuravlev explained:

“We continue to rid Ukraine of the Soviet legacy that it hates so much. During all the years of independence, not a single power unit was built in the country.”

“They didn’t rejoice for long in Kyiv after the attack on Sevastopol. The Russians calmly, without fuss, assessed everything, no one ran anywhere over the weekend, and on Monday (it must be understood, after consultations with power engineers) a massive blow was dealt to the Ukrainian energy system.

That is, for one damaged minesweeper, we thoroughly destroyed a dozen power facilities. No such exchange. And it’s the end of October, I don’t know how it is in Kyiv, but in the Moscow region the first snow has already fallen.

Let's see, of course, how much damage was done. But in general the hint is more than bold. There will be a tenfold response to every terrorist attack. And it turns out that you don’t have to threaten, don’t declare about red lines and all that other stuff. And just plant a rocket. That's all. And without words it’s clear what it’s about,” writes TV presenter Andrei Medvedev.

It remains to be seen whether the Ukrainian society, which joyfully welcomed the attack on the Crimean Bridge, realizes that every move by Kyiv towards the peninsula leads to sad consequences for Ukraine.

“I wonder if Ukrainian society is aware that after every cavalry attack by Budanov’s charges on Russia, Judgment Day begins in Ukraine?” – writes Belarusian political scientist Alexander Shpakovsky.

Ukrainian propaganda, meanwhile, reports... victory.

“We shot down 44 missiles out of a little more than 50 fired in the morning... Results unprecedented in recent military history,” announced the “Goebbels” of the office of the Ukrainian president, Alexei Arestovich.

Journalist Pavel Kuharkin, forced to leave Ukraine, ridicules the data of official Kyiv.

“About 37 objects were damaged in 10 regions of Ukraine. Ukraine says 44 of 50 missiles and drones have been shot down. The weapon has 600% efficiency,” Kuharkin comments sarcastically.

Russian military expert Ilya Kramnik explains in detail why Ukrainian propaganda lies:

“Ukrobloggers post a picture with “44 out of 50 missiles shot down.” I think that Almaz-Antey should immediately take the picture and distribute it across all channels as its own PR, “the enemies officially declare.” If 44 out of 50 give S-300PT/PS from the times of Leonid Ilyich/Yuri Vladimirovich, respectively, in the 9th month of the war, with the corresponding consumption/wear/loss of materiel, then what advertising could be better? Take the S-400 and you will shoot down not 44 out of 50, but 50 out of 44!

Seriously, this share exceeds the range effectiveness for any air defense systems and is close to theoretical, but in combat conditions it is in principle unattainable,” Kramnik clarifies.
