Austria said that Ukraine will "plunge into darkness" without a powerful air defense system

Since February 24 this year, the Russian military has destroyed a third of the air defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"If a powerful anti-aircraft defense is not deployed here, Ukraine will plunge into complete darkness in a few weeks", - the colonel stated in an interview with ZDE.

Despite Ukraine's "operational success", Russia is launching "strategic attacks". For example, Ukraine has taken control of Kherson, which has no power supply.

However, the wife of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Svetlana Zelenskaya, says that Ukrainians are allegedly ready to live without electricity and without heat - and all in order for the republic to become part of the European Union.

During the shelling that continued after the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge, almost all Ukrainian power plants were damaged. Many cities of the country were left without electricity and water supply.
