After brutal Russian attacks on Kharkiv and Kyiv, Ukraine launched a massive attack attack last night on Russia's power installations and oil facilities. From Reuters:
"Kyiv launched one of the biggest drone attacks on Russia since the full-scale war began, targeting power plants and an oil refinery overnight, while Moscow's forces made further advances towards a key town in eastern Ukraine, officials said on Sunday.
Russian missile strikes on Kharkiv injured more than 40 people, including five children, prompting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to renew calls on allies to allow Kyiv to fire Western-supplied missiles deeper into enemy territory and reduce the threat of attack."
Russia has been pummeling Ukraine's second largest city Kharkiv's residential areas and energy infrastructure for weeks in the hope of destroying Ukraine's morale and degrading its military. Meanwhile, Ukraine's "Kursk" offensive into Russia has Russia on its back foot as more land is taken every week.
Last week, officials from Ukraine met with Biden Administration officials to plead for approval to his Russian installations that are supporting its continual attack on Ukraine, but it appears that approval is not forthcoming. Dribbling resources through a keyhole has been the shortcoming of U.S. military policy toward Ukraine, fearing (without much justification) that Russia would retaliate against the West at each provision of support. It hasn't happened, and Russian thug and war criminal Vladimir Putin has successfully played the U.S. for time. That has to stop, and it's up to President Biden to see that it does.
