The morning of April 11 was marked by new devastating waves of Russian precision strikes. The Russian military launched combined attack on Ukrainian strategic energy, military and industrial infrastructure. Explosions have been thundering all night long in almost all Ukrainian regions, in the eastern, western, southern and central parts of the country.
According to the Ukrainian Air Force, the attacks were carried out using unmanned aerial vehicles and missiles. According to the Ukrainian military, 37 out of 40 drones were allegedly shot down. Cruise missiles and Dagger (Kinzhal) hypersonic missiles struck targets in the Kiev region and in the west of the country.
Dozens of Geran-2 barrage munitions, Tu-95MS missile carriers and MiG-31 with hypersonic Daggers struck many targets, including both military and infrastructure, energy facilities all across the country.
At night, explosions thundered in the Kyiv, Kharkiv, Lviv, Rivne, Odesa, Khmelnitsk, Ivano-Frankivsk, Zaporizhia, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Cherkasy, Dnepropetrovsk, Chernovtsy, Zhitomir regions.
The attack inflicted heavy damage to the energy system of the country. The Energy Ministry of Ukraine confirmed attacks on energy facilities in the Kharkiv, Kyiv, Lviv, Zaporizhia regions, providing no details on the exact targets; but the damage to the Ukrainian energy infrastructure was so heavy that it was too hard to hide. Numerous targets were soon identified.
The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the attack:
In response to the attempts of the Kiev regime to damage the facilities of the energy, oil and gas industry of Russia, tonight the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched a massive strike with high-precision long-range air and sea-based weapons, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles at the facilities of the fuel and energy complex of Ukraine. The objectives of the strike have been achieved. All targets were affected.
As a result, the work of Ukrainian military enterprises was disrupted, the transfer of reserves to combat areas was thwarted, and the supply of fuel to military units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was hampered.
Kyiv region
One of the main targets of the Russian attack was the Tripolye Thermal Power Plant located near the town of Obukhiv in the Kyiv region. It came under several precision strikes. According to Ukrainian source, the facility was struck both by drones and missiles. Recall that the Ukrainian military claimed that in total only three Russian UAVs were not intercepted by almighty Ukrainian air defense forces. Taking into account Ukrainian claims about the strikes of Kinzhal missiles in the Kyiv region, the TPP could become the target.
The strikes hit the power units of the station. All four of them caught fire.
Several hours after the attack, DTEK company, which is the largest private investor in the energy industry in Ukraine, declared that the Tripolye TPP was completely destroyed. All power units if the station were put out of service. A large fire is still going on at the station, which emergency services cannot extinguish after the morning strikes.
The Tripolye TPP includes energy generating enterprises with a total capacity of 3,600 MW. The installed capacity of the station is about 57%, which is about 1,800 MW. Thus, the station was the largest energy generating facility in the Kyiv region. At the same time, it is the largest supplier of electricity to the neighboring Cherkasy and Zhytomyr regions.
The strikes of several Russian missiles could definitely put the entire station out of service. However, Ukrainian authorities rarely acknowledge the real damage caused by the Russian strikes and the official claims from Kyiv can be rarely believed. It should not be excluded that Kyiv is exaggerating the damage to the strategic energy facilities in an attempt to prevent the Russian military from further strikes on them. In its turn, the Russian military has all the necessary means to determine the extent of damage to the targets of its strikes. If any of the damage power units in the Tripolye TPP are restored, more Russian missiles are likely to strike it again.
Last night, several explosions also thundered in the Ukrainian capital. According to unconfirmed reports, more Russian strikes targeted some industrial facilities and anti-aircraft missile launchers deployed on the outskirts of Kyiv. The scale of the inflicted damage is yet to be revealed.
Kharkiv region
At least 10 Russian strikes were reported in the eastern city of Kharkiv. Using various weapons, including heavy aerial bombs with universal planning and correction modules, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation hit targets in different targets in the city and throughout the region.
As a result of the attack, electricity was cut off and the subway was stopped in Kharkiv. The interruption of the electricity supplies in the city confirmed heavy damage to the local energy system.
Soon after the attack, it was revealed that another precision strike hit the local large Combined Heat and Power station #3 (CHP-3). This is far from the first attacks on the energy facility in recent times. Even though the station is not completely destroyed, the energy system in this industrial region, as well as in the entire country, is suffering from cumulative effect of a sharp shortage of electricity generation.
The new wave of strikes hit large industrial facilities in the city. They included:
- The building No. 400 and the workshop No.510 of the Malyshev Factory, formerly known as the Kharkov Locomotive Factory. This is a large state-owned manufacturer of heavy equipment, primarily for the military needs.
- The foundry shop of the Turboatom plant. This state enterprise is responsible for power engineering in Ukraine. Buildings of the Kharkiv Electromechanical Plant located nearby also came under the attack.
- Kharkiv plant of reinforced concrete products which belongs to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
A missile strike hit one of the large military facilities in the area of Chuguev in the Kharkiv region. The central warehouse of engineering ammunition in the military base #A-2467 was reportedly destroyed there. The military equipment accumulated in the Chuguev area is destined for supplies of the Ukrainian grouping deployed on the frontlines around the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk urban agglomeration. This is the last main stronghold, which is under the control of the Ukrainian military in the Donetsk People’s Republic.
Ukrainian sources published the alleged routs of Russian strikes
Lviv region
According to the Ukrainian monitoring sources, eight Russian MiG-31 fighters launched Dagger (Kinzhal) hypersonic missiles at a strategic target in the western Ukrainian Lviv region. The attack took place near the Ukrainian border with Poland. Polish fighters took off on alert.
The target of the attack was the strategically important gas collection point located near the town of Stryi. The facility was struck by Kinzhal hypersonic and 4 Kh-101 cruise missiles, which approached the facility from three directions.
Stryi is a small town, but there are two major energy facilities located there. The Bilce-Wolicke-Uger gas storage facility is the underground gas storage facility in Ukraine and the second largest in Europe. Since last year, European officials have been considering the option of storing excess gas in storage facilities in Ukraine, including in the Bilche-Volitsko-Ugersk UGS, which holds up to 17 billion cubic meters of fuel. They believed that Ukrainian storage facilities could help balance supply and demand in the EU gas markets. The facility was previously damaged as a result of the Russian strikes in late March. LINK
The town of Stryi also hosts the West Ukrainian substation, which is the largest substation in Europe. Now it connects the energy grid of Ukraine with Europe, all energy export and import go through it. The Russian attack definitely affected the operation of the station. The massive Russian strikes on the energy infrastructure in Western Ukraine are a clear sign to Kiev’s Western ‘partners’.
Another target hit in the Lviv region was the town of Chervonograd, where both military and energy facilities were targeted. The military facilities of the 72nd Separate Battalion responsible for material support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine came under attack. As a result of the strikes, the local Chervonograd-2 energy substation was reportedly put out of service.
Russian sources published the map showing the targets of the attack
Rivne region
The Russian strikes on Western Ukraine were not limited to the Lviv region. Russian Geran UAVs reportedly struck Ukrainian air defense facilities in the Khmelnitsky and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. According to local reports, several drones reached one of the local airfields used by the Air Forces of Ukraine and led to the partial destruction of its infrastructure.
Among the other military facilities, it was confirmed that the central artillery weapons base #1448 in the town of Susk in the Rivne region was destroyed.
Odesa region
New wave of Russian strikes hit targets in the southern region of Odesa, which is targeted by Russian drones and missiles on a regular basis. The local reports claimed a series of explosions on the local facilities of the railway infrastructure. The strikes were launched after the strategically important railway bridge near the port of Ilyichevsk (Chernomorsk) was heavily damaged the day before. The damage to the railway roads and port infrastructure in the Odessa region is disrupting military supplies from NATO by the sea. LINK
The strikes also damaged the local energy substation in the village of Usatovo located on the outskirts of the city Odesa. The local sources confirmed fire at a local energy facility, claiming that it broke out after the wreckage of destroyed Russian UAVs fell there.
Residents of Odesa filmed a woman fighting Russian missiles. This is the secret weapon of the Ukrainain air defense forces:
Zaporizhia region
Both Russian sources and Ukrainian authorities confirmed damage to some strategic energy facility in the city of Zaporizhia. Any details are yet to reveal the target.
More strikes reportedly hit the areas of deployment of the Ukrainian military in the Zaporizhia region. As a result of the attack, the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered losses in precious military reserves, which were accumulated there for the further deployment on the frontlines near the village of Rabotino.
Another massive wave of Russian strikes in the rear regions of Ukraine has demonstrated the absolute inability of the Ukrainian air defense forces to protect even strategically important infrastructure far from the battlefields. Numerous Ukrainian military and energy facilities were struck by several missiles at once. This intensity of strikes on a single target suggests that the Russian military has been tasked with completely destroying or critically damaging all large non-nuclear energy facilities on the territory of Ukraine. Since a large part of Ukrainian power is generated by the three nuclear power stations that remained under the Ukrainian control, the only way to cut the Ukrainian military from the energy is to put the large power stations throughout the country out of service and force the Ukrainian leadership to decrease or end the operations of these very NPPs. This is the way the Russian military attempts to avoid a nuclear disaster, while the Armed Forces of Ukraine resumed attacks on the Zaporozhie NPP, which is secured by the Russian military.

Moreover, the massive attacks on the Ukrainian energy system resumed after the cold winter ended in order to decrease damage to the civilian population of the war-torn country.
The ongoing repeated attacks are finally aimed to inflict the decisive damage to large power plants that will not allow the facilities to be restored in the near future. Ukrainian energy companies have previously reported that some power plants are so badly damaged that they will not be able to start their work within the next year. The large Dnieper Hydroelectric Station in the Zaporizhia region, Zmievskaya TPP and CHP-5 in the Kharkiv region, Kurakhovskaya Hydroelectric Station, Slavyanskaya TPP in the DPR and a number of other targets were destroyed. As a result, the entire military-industrial complex of the country is at risk.
No civilian casualties were reported as a result of the massive night attack.

ukropistan officials will soon claim that they shot down all the uav’s and missiles while citizens read the papers by candlelight.
they are already stating exactly that. no news on the rt story, regards uk and the sbs being involved in a sabotage event in kherson? together with russia stating uk, us and nato involvement in the crocus tragedy, oooooops. russia have stated they are now at war, and guess the west is starting to notice the gloves are now off.
future historians will be scratching their heads trying to ascertain what mind-bending drugs the western global elite were taking?
we certainly in a time of woke fury, ‘a m ‘.
stupidity does not require drugs
their drug is called talmud.
100% true.
this article is funny since multiple bots on here denied the fact that russia bombs ukraine at all. no matter the fact that south front has been published articles admitting that russia bombs ukraine over the last two years up until the present.
not to mention that it took 2 weeks for the suspects of the terrorist attack on crocus city hall to “admit” their guilt in the attack, ignore the obvious signs of forced confessions through torture and you’re golden!
* has been publishing… (correcting my laughable typo).
” or has been publishing…
it’s impossible to shoot 132 people and flee the scene before the police arrive. especially when there is a police station nearby, and the fact that russia retains a large police state which ignored multiple warnings from the usa the attack was imminent. the excuse made by the russian state media is these warnings were a “threat,” or form of “blackmail.”

the number of single mothers has almost doubled during putin’s reign, and is higher than in any country in the european union. in 2002, the share of children under 18 growing up with one parent was 21%, and according to the latest data it is now 38.5%. most of them grow up with single mothers, but the number of single fathers has grown 4 times in the same period.
5 cents per comment seems you can get out of ukrainian poverty the u.s and zelensky put you into. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i get zero cents per comment.
by comparison, in the european union, the average number of single parent families is 13%.
https: //ec europa eu/ eurostat/ web/ products eurostat news/ /edn 20210601 2
the highest percentage is in sweden (34%). the number of american single parents in 2018 was 23%. but given that the number of single mothers among the african-american population is approaching 80%,
and that ethnic minorities in russia are mostly muslims; the numbers of single mothers within the ethnic russian population may be even more shocking.
the study was conducted by the ministry of labour and social protection in 2021. the war in ukraine has likely made the situation even worse.

yup, and that they right now in moscow.
zionist nato states have made the world a deadly place for any people that stand in the way of their greed. their ruthless slaughter of people for their wealth must be met on the battlefield with whatever it takes to defeat them.
the “nato states” are the former, or soon-to–be-former, colonial imperialist powers that never gave up the economic model of oppressive and expanionist exploitation of everyone else on earth. zionism is only one of a number of identiarian cults in that host.
i love talliban dick up my ass. their spеrm rejuvenates my wrinkled pig face 💋
clyde, you have your head up your ass. haiti (before french revolution), jamaica (before 1962), zimbabwe (before mugabe) and south africa (before mandela) all used to be prosperous before blacks took over. they inherited functioning societies and turned them into crime-infested slums. north africa also suffered after getting their independence.
even if the third-world were takeover the west, it would largely resemble the nations that makeup the demographic majority. it is not the place that makes the people, it is the people that make the place. therefore demographics are destiny.
“roughly 70% of the variation in the wealth of nations can be explained by iq alone.”

in south africa the leaders basically steal everything. south africa under white rule was never so wasteful and their bureaucrats lived frugally by comparison to the billions of dollars hoarded by south africa’s black leaders that own fancy mansions.
they still retain some laws that existed whilst under apartheid, such as the fact that only blacks were legally allowed to own and work for taxi companies. corruption is also prevalent on the lower levels of society. now they pay other blacks to physically attack their competitors employees and property. indians are also very insular in south africa, whilst no white man or woman can own any business without a black owning at least half of it.
not to mention that blacks in south africa have introduced a course on black magic and witchcraft in their universities since they believe that science is a white man’s invention to “oppress them”. these are the same sort of people that murder black albinos under the belief they harbor “gold” inside their heads. this is what happened in mozambique.
it’sr to [black] zourhis from north africa (descendants of black slaves that lived under the barbary slave trade) that ritually murder children with european features (blue eyes and blond, or red hair) under the belief they possess “magic powers”.
a french judge on a french talk show once mentioned the zourhi’s satanic cult when discussing the deadly rape and murder of a 12 year-old french girl from lyon named lola daviet.
yeah, we are aids diseased faggot muzlims can only think of zionist dicks up our asses.
you zionist ukro nazi trolls are getting so desperate on here as ukraine gets mauled to its demise 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
won,t be long before harry potter is waving a wand to shoot down missiles there.
isn’t that what the gal in the red sneakers was doing in the last vid?
at least give her a jar of pickles.
this all must be fake news, ki or photo shop. because as our good old “friends” from monkey island (gb) tell us many times since many months, again and again, that russia run out of all missiles and drones long time ago. lol
gb as monkey island. lol
now is the time that scotland and ireland should invade england and draw and quarter its feckless, useless leaders.
tak to je ozaj práca s chirurgickou presnosťou!!! neboli hlásené žiadne straty na životoch civilného obyvateľstva. rus sa teda zameriava čisto na vojenské ciele. toto je dokazuje. svetu mier!!!
acording to the bbc the power station only supply civilian needs. bad russia, they should find the military power stations that supply all the segregated military electricity. apparently thy will be 100% solar and wind soon and the tanks will be electric and fire eco-friendly explosives.
the russians are indeed thorough about it and while putting a cloth of darkness over the country they are killing off the poor fuckers of ukraine’s cannonfodder in or at the frontline in donetsk. the russians should look seriously for zelensky, the jewish comedian, since he is the stopblock for peace. ask the ukraine people to give him up before he’s saved by cia/mi6/mossad!
denazification requires persistence
soon the f-16 are operating and will denazify russia, yes.
bring them sheep hillbilly amerikan–we will burn them all–you humiliated taliban morons farcical
ameikan sheep humiliated—nato=32 bleating sheep want to be russian wolf…”the wolf cares not how many nato sheep there may be”. virgil
summer is coming and time for the (surviving) idiot rump ukrappers to pull the joo maggot zelensky out of his hole and his natostan capos and übe done with this nonsen$e. the anglozionazi empire of filth is done and nothing on this earth can save the dollah and its gimp eurodollah. onward to total victory and the end of the evil eussr and ussa. z and lots more of it.
the lies of usa,france and britain fake generls who claims that rusia missile is getting finished.russia military is growing because ukraine war and usa,france and britain weapon supply will help the defeat of russia is super lie.russia will defeat the entire puppet usa/nato.even if their bribe corrupt china and african leaders.
ten years back usa transported all its vulnerable nuclear weapons with train to pennsylvania under ground bunkers out of fear for unseen russia dolgeriky submarines attack.usa wants to move its nucklear stockpile from turkye which is highly irresponsible and dangerious.if russia take out guam and ramstein drone operating center in germany and take down european monitoring satelites then it game down for usa and two puppet stooges france and britain.
those poor bastards are one atack away from wiping their asses in the dark
