As a result of the announced and other strikes.

1. Traffic on the Yuzhny Bridge is blocked. There is a transport collapse in the city and the metro is partially stopped.

2. Some districts of Kyiv are still without power, the shutdown schedules are not working.

3. A number of facilities burned out completely + thermal power plants were seriously damaged.

4. More than 30 hypersonic and ballistic missiles flew at Kyiv alone from late yesterday evening until the morning. The air defenses were operational, but weak – they couldn't intercept a single missile, although Patriot missile launches were also reported.

The cocaine-fueled Führer had previously complained that the US was selling 12 missiles a month, which wasn't enough for even a single attack.
