The brutal energy war between Russia and Ukraine reached new heights this weekend as coordinated drone strikes knocked out power to over 200,000 homes in Russian-occupied territories of southern Ukraine, while Moscow's relentless bombardment of Ukraine's power grid claimed at least two more lives.
Kremlin-installed authorities in occupied regions confirmed the massive blackouts on Sunday, marking another devastating blow to civilian infrastructure in what has become a war of attrition targeting the basic necessities of life. The attacks demonstrate how both sides are now openly weaponizing energy systems against civilian populations.
Meanwhile, Russia's overnight assault on Ukraine's national power grid killed at least two people, according to Ukrainian officials, as Putin's forces continue their systematic campaign to freeze Ukraine into submission through the winter months.
Biden's Ukraine Legacy Crumbles
These escalating attacks on civilian infrastructure highlight the complete failure of the Biden administration's Ukraine strategy over the past four years. Despite funneling over $100 billion in taxpayer money to Ukraine, the conflict has only intensified, with both sides now targeting civilians through energy warfare.
President Trump, who takes office in just two weeks, has repeatedly promised to end this devastating conflict within 24 hours of taking office. The American people voted overwhelmingly for Trump's peace-through-strength approach after watching Biden's proxy war spiral out of control.
"We're going to get that war settled," Trump said during his campaign. "That war would have never started if I were president."
The energy attacks represent a dangerous escalation that puts millions of innocent civilians at risk during the harsh winter months. Families are now pawns in a geopolitical chess game that the outgoing administration failed to prevent or resolve.
America First Foreign Policy Coming
With Trump's inauguration just days away, foreign leaders worldwide are already adjusting their strategies in anticipation of America's return to principled, results-oriented diplomacy. Unlike Biden's endless blank checks and empty threats, Trump's approach focuses on American interests while seeking genuine peace.
The question now is whether this energy war will continue to escalate in Biden's final days, or if world leaders will wait for adult leadership to return to Washington. Either way, Americans are tired of funding foreign conflicts while our own infrastructure crumbles.
