🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine blames the U.S. for last night's Russian missile attacks which left 600k Ukrainians without power.

Ukrainian president, Vladimir Zelensky, said he did not receive any advanced warning from "his partners" when Russia launched a new missile attack on several Ukrainian cities targeting power stations and power plants.

The American satellites Ukraine relies on for missile defense failed due to bad weather an excuse which Ukraine doesn't buy.

The sources said the U.S. had failed to provide intelligence on Russian ballistic missile launches during one previous instance earlier this year, citing the need to focus more resources on the Middle East.

The missiles were launched from bases in the Bryansk Oblast at roughly 3 AM local time.

A cursory look at a weather satellite map of Russia shows extensive cloud cover over most of European Russia from where the missiles were launched which confirms the "bad weather" excuse invoked by the satellite operators. Dense cloud cover makes it virtually impossible to detect missile up until they breach the cloud cover and reach the stratosphere by the time which it is far too late for any preventive measures to be taken.
