'Paying reparations to Ukraine'. 16.12.2022
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary from Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

He does like that image of paying back with destruction— he’s repeated it several times.
[ColonelCassad] In the morning, the Aerospace Forces of the Russian Federation, on Vatutin's birthday, continued to "pay reparations" to Ukraine. Launched under 100 different cruise missiles, which achieved dozens of hits throughout the territory of Ukraine.

At 11 a.m., the Russian Aerospace Forces were turned off - Kyiv, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Poltava, Krivoy Rog, Odessa, Kremenchug, etc.

Several thermal power plants and other infrastructure facilities were hit.

In addition to the missing light, at least 6 regions are experiencing serious disruptions to cellular communications, the Internet, and water supply. In four or five regions there are serious problems with the work of the railways, the enemy is trying to switch to diesel locomotives, but delays in the movement of trains are already inevitable.

The Zelensky gang is now probably thinking about declaring that they shot down 80% or 90% of all launched missiles, especially against the backdrop of a wave of blackouts.

In general, it can be noted that the Russian Aerospace Forces continue to methodically implement the strategy launched by a series of strikes on October 10-12, and the consequences of this strategy are quite visible and tangible.

The entire Dnepropetrovsk region was left without electricity

[REGNUM] The Dnipropetrovsk region was completely de-energized on December 16, according to the telegram channel of the head of the local administration, Valentina Reznichenko.

“The area was completely de-energized,” the report says. “Currently, the restored power in the network is enough for a minimal revival of critical infrastructure.”

Reznichenko notes that specialists are busy stabilizing the situation in the energy sector, but emergency recovery work "may take longer than before" was required in such cases, because "there is too much damage." First of all, the power supply of civilian infrastructure facilities is subject to restoration, the official notes.

Recall that on the morning of December 16, Ukrainian officials and Ukrainian publics disseminated information that energy facilities were out of order in the south of Ukraine, and then in the central part and west of the country. Claims were also made about explosions and rocket attacks.

For its part, to date, the Russian Ministry of Defense has not confirmed the infliction of massive strikes on energy facilities in Ukraine on December 16.
