Hundreds of thousands of Russians are plunged into darkness as Ukraine launches Moscow drone attacks

Hundreds of thousands of Russians have been plunged into darkness due to a power outage after Ukraine launched a series of drone strikes on Moscow.

Footage emerging from the Russian capital has shown entire tower blocks without light and dead street lamps due to the widespread blackout.

According to the Russian power company PAO Rosseti, over 100,000 residents of Ramensky, Zhukovsky, and Lytkarino have now been left without electricity in the dead of winter.

Russia claims the power outage occurred due to an automatic shutdown at a high-voltage electricity substation, though it is unclear whether this was the cause or if it resulted from a Ukrainian drone strike.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's former press secretary, Iuliia Mendel, said: 'Total blackout hits Moscow region is reported on social media.

'Over 600,000 people plunged into darkness for more than four hours — no electricity, no mobile signal, total isolation. Drone threat declared across the oblast right now.'

The number of Russian residents affected by the blackout remains unverified, but local reports have indicated that the number may range from 100,000 to 600,000.

The blackout appears to have coincided with a series of brutal drone strikes launched by Ukraine at Moscow.

This war is dragging on stupidly. The best fighter is one who knows when to stop.

For every day this war continues both countries are getting closer and closer to economic collapse.

Trump is a Russian asset and hates Zelensky for not previously helping him to lie against Biden.
