Silicon Bites #69 - Muscovy Brings Gifts of Terror and Destruction to Ukraine on Christmas Day 2024.

10 minutes

Edition No69 | 26-12-2024 - What is Christmas like, when your

neighbour is a terrorist state, run without challenge or hindrance by a

delusional imperialist and pervert, hooked on aggression and suffering?

Russia launched a massive Christmas day attack on Ukraine’s energy

infrastructure, and civilian residential targets in numerous cities,

leaving more than half a million people without heating, water and

electricity. Temperatures across Ukraine are around freezing point.

Zelenskyy, President of Ukrainian spoke with direct moral clarity when

he condemned the attack as ‘inhuman’. This was the 13th large-scale

assault in 2024, on the energy grid of Ukraine, in what Zelenskyy said

was a deliberate series of strikes. “This was not a coincidence. What

could be more inhuman?” He wrote on X. But it’s also entirely

predictable. Putin always lashes out after press conferences, or visits

to his court by foreign dignitaries, and of course, special dates such

as Christmas hold a special fascination for his perverse mind. Attacks

at Christmas and New Year as well as on significant anniversaries are

entirely predictable, as is Russia’s raging desire to instil fear in its

enemies, and those it seeks to control and plunder.

About 50 of the 70 missiles fired were intercepted, as well as a

‘significant’ number of more than 100 attack drones launched by Russia,

on this, the celebration of Christ’s birth. Oleh Syniehubov, governor of

Ukraine’s eastern Kharkiv region, explained that the attack had left

more than 500,000 people without heating, water and electricity at

Christmas. Russia is not just a terrorist state, but also, it’s claims

to be Christian one is barely plausible, given its actions of the last

three years, and the genocidal character of its regime, which is

enthusiastically supported and sanctified by the Moscow Patriarch, and

former KGB agent.

President Joe Biden said in a statement “The Ukrainian people deserve to

live in peace and safety, and the United States and the international

community must continue to stand with Ukraine until it triumphs over

Russia’s aggression.” Biden also reaffirmed his instruction to the

Department of Defence “to continue its surge of weapons deliveries to

Ukraine”.
