Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians were plunged into darkness Sunday as escalating drone warfare knocked out power to over 200,000 homes in Russian-occupied southern Ukraine, while Moscow's relentless assault on the country's energy grid killed at least two more civilians.

The devastating attacks highlight the complete bankruptcy of the outgoing Biden administration's Ukraine strategy - a policy that has burned through over $100 billion in American taxpayer money while bringing the world closer to World War III than at any point since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Kremlin-installed authorities reported massive power outages across occupied territories, while Ukrainian officials confirmed that Russia's overnight bombardment of energy infrastructure left multiple dead and critical power systems crippled. The strikes represent a dramatic escalation in the drone war that has consumed the region for nearly three years.

Biden's Ukraine Disaster Coming Home to Roost

As President Trump prepares to inherit this mess in just two weeks, the question every American should be asking is simple: What exactly did we get for our $100+ billion investment in Ukraine? More death, more destruction, and a proxy war that's pushed nuclear powers to the brink.

The Biden regime's strategy of endless weapons shipments and blank-check funding has clearly failed to bring peace or stability to the region. Instead, we're witnessing an escalation that threatens to drag America into direct conflict with Russia - precisely what Trump warned against during his campaign.

"While Ukrainian civilians suffer in darkness, Biden's war hawks continue pushing for more weapons, more money, and more escalation. Where's the exit strategy? Where's the peace plan?"

Trump has repeatedly promised to end the Ukraine conflict within 24 hours of taking office, focusing on negotiated settlement rather than endless military escalation. With power grids failing and civilian casualties mounting, that approach can't come soon enough.

The incoming Trump administration inherits a foreign policy disaster that perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with the Washington establishment's approach to international conflicts. Instead of America First diplomacy, we got America Last warmongering that's made the world more dangerous while draining our treasury.

How many more billions will Democrats demand we pour into this conflict before admitting their strategy has failed?

Exactly what I've been saying! The drone warfare is just going to keep escalating and Putin isn't backing down anytime soon.

Putin's playing the long game while Biden seems to be making it up as he goes along.

At some point we need to ask what our actual strategic objectives are here.

Biden promised a clear path to victory but all we're seeing is endless escalation with no end game. My nephew just got deployed to Poland and I'm wondering if we're sleepwalking into WW3.

Same concern here - this feels too much like Vietnam all over again with mission creep.

Ukraine's infrastructure is crumbling and we keep sending billions while our own border remains wide open. Where are this administration's priorities?
