Does anyone know what Ukraine is doing to get electricity

to the people and places where it has been knocked out by the Russians? I keep worrying that a bunch of people are going to freeze to death.

If I had the opportunity I would volunteer to be the one to push Putin out a window.

Given how Putin's opponents often die of defenestration (and get shot ... and get poisoned ... and get in mysterious car accidents ...), Putin receiving a fatal dose of his own medicine would be fitting.

Putin's attacks on power generation facilities will cause the attacks' intended civilian suffering. But as with Germany's Blitz, Putin's attacks will prove to be a dispersion and waste of Russia's hard to replace expensive precision weapons systems. Critical (from Russians' POV) Ukrainian military assets and units are not being hit, and the attacks will strengthen Ukrainian civilian resolve.

With the north bank of the Dnipro nearest Crimea evac'ed by the Russians, it'll be interesting to see whether the Ukrainians try to cross to the south bank for a frontal attack, try a flank attack from farther north, (where the Ukrainians are well established on the east bank of the Dnipro), or simply keep supply lines to the south bank and Crimea under fire (making supplying those Russian forces difficult and deadly).

If using "south bank" and "east bank" for the same side of the Dnipro is confusing, looking at a map that includes Kherson-Luhansk-Kharkiv will explain the usage. Basically, the Ukrainians have liberated their territory as far east as a curved line roughly Kharkiv-Kramatorsk-Zaporizhzhia. That line means the Russian held cities of Mariupol, Berdyansk, and Melitopol could all be attacked from the north, and if the Ukrainians breach the highway connecting those cities, Crimea and the remaining south bank of the Dnipro would almost cut off from supply. Obviously I'm speculating of hypothetical potential based on geography, not knowledge of Ukrainian plans or military experience.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

15. America and the world should bringing in massive amounts of solar and wind electrical generation stations. Smaller scale and decentralized like roof top or mobile ones so the Russians can not hit them like bigger power stations and electrical grids. Wood burning stoves should be brought in for heat too. Wall tents and WW II style quonset huts might provide some short term help
too.

More evidence that what we all realize as a joke, these leftists nuts believe can really happen.

14. The restriction on how Ukraine can use US and NATO equipment should be lifted.

It isn’t fair to allow Russia to bomb Ukraine anywhere and everywhere and then restrict Ukraine from bombing Russia. Putin has shown that he will do anything, including destroying civilian infrastructure to cause citizens to freeze to death, to extend this war. I seriously doubt that anything will cause him to change except overwhelming power forcing him out of Ukraine. He Ukrainians do not have that overwhelming power while NATO does. So does the world stand by now and watch millions die by freezing to death?
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but if Ukraine starts using American and NATO materiel, wouldn't that be seen as an attack BY America and/or NATO? Would that (maybe) lead Russia to attack a small NATO country, which would require an Article 5 response?

Seriously, I don't really want Ukrainian children to freeze to death, but I also don't want WWIII, which would probably mean nuclear war.

It's a variation of an old joke. I wish I could claim ownership but I can't. You can insert socialists, communists, climate doomers, and a few others in place of Ukraine, and it just works.
