Bogged Down in Mud, Torrential Rains, and Bombs

Live from Ukraine
Ivano-Frankivsk – Russian terror continues to engulf peaceful cities across Ukraine with unprecedented violence. Yesterday, Moscow’s air force once again struck railway infrastructure in the Chernihiv region, forcing the national carrier Ukrzaliznytsia to deploy backup diesel locomotives for trains headed to Sumy due to a power outage in the Nizhyn section.
Twenty-four hours earlier, a barrage of Russian and Iranian drones hit Dnipro in broad daylight, damaging a medical center, a pediatric dental clinic, an apartment building, a dormitory, and a cultural center. One civilian was killed, and thirty others, including a 10-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl, were injured.
At the same time, another Russian FPV drone aimed directly at a Ukrainian civilian couple traveling in Sumy with their two children, killing the entire family. Another 54 similar attacks were recorded in that oblast, with no distinction made between military and civilian targets. As evening fell, 15 massive explosions shook Kharkiv, destroying a dozen homes in the Saltivka and Kyivskyj districts and setting several shopping malls covering a 2,800-square-meter area within the Barabashovo market ablaze. These were glide bombs, each containing at least 250 kg of explosives, intentionally launched against Europe’s largest open-air shopping center. A video we recorded from there for the YouTube channel website of the Italian newspaper “La Ragione” highlights the sheer intent of the attacks on that infrastructure, which has been hit on eight separate occasions since the start of the war.
Walking among the ruins of those pavilions after the second-to-last attack on that bazaar, we already explained before the summer that the goal of those who order such strikes is to destroy not only that massive civilian infrastructure but also the hundreds of jobs it creates, destroying just as many small businesses that support the country’s economy.
Throughout the night, the Russian Federation continued bombing the nearby Chuhuiv district yesterday, destroying a dozen homes and reducing more than 35 garages and as many cars to smoking metal. The number of injuries is difficult to determine, since rescue and firefighting operations are still ongoing at the time of this article’s delivery, but at least eight civilians and a police officer are known to be in serious condition.
The bad weather has worsened the damage. It has been raining nonstop in Ukraine for days now, forcing volunteers and firefighters to rush to evacuate people trapped in rubble and others caught by floods.
In Odesa alone, nine deaths have been reported, with 362 last-minute rescues amid bombs and torrential rain.
Bogged down at the front, Russian troops continue to suffer losses on every side, unable to provide support to any of the contingents the Ukrainians have surrounded.
In that hell of mud and rubble, the time is kept by the nuclear clock of a power plant that has been disconnected from the grid for eight days. «One of the secondary diesel generators supplying electricity to the Enerhodar plant held hostage by the Russians is broken, and the remaining ones have never functioned for so long,» the Ukrainian President announced in an appeal aimed at underscoring the criticality of the situation.
The hope is that the one who has ended up bogged down at the head of an equally shut-down government will grasp this, precisely when concrete political decisions are needed.
The diplomatic approach has failed, and starting with the Tomahawk missiles, there’s renewed talk of massive arms injections into Ukraine to make Putin understand that he has failed, in the only language he knows. This was clear from the beginning, but to please the current American administration, we’ve ended up stuck in a limbo of waiting and half-hearted decisions, with no progress for another nine months. What Ukraine cannot afford is for further political distraction in Washington to compromise America’s already fragile responsiveness to Russian aggression.

来自乌克兰的现场报道
Ivano-Frankivsk—俄罗斯恐怖持续以前所未有的暴力袭击着乌克兰各地的和平城市。昨日，莫斯科的空军再次袭击了切尔尼希夫地区的铁路基础设施，迫使国家运输公司乌克兰铁路公司（Ukrzaliznytsia）部署备用柴油机车，以应对尼任区的停电情况。
24小时前，俄罗斯和伊朗的无人机群在光天化日之下袭击了第聂伯罗，炸毁了一个医疗中心、一个儿科牙科诊所、一个公寓楼、一个宿舍和一个文化中心。 一名平民被打死，另有30人受伤，其中包括一名10岁的男孩和一名17岁的女孩。

与此同时，另一架俄罗斯FPV无人机直接瞄准了一对带着两个孩子在苏梅旅行的乌克兰平民夫妇，杀死了全家四口。该州还遭受了另外54起类似袭击事件，无差别针对军事目标和民用目标。傍晚时分，15起大规模爆炸震动了哈尔科夫，摧毁了萨尔蒂夫卡和基辅区的十几栋房屋，巴拉巴绍沃市场内占地2800平方米的几个购物中心被烧毁。这些是滑翔炸弹，每个都含有至少250公斤的炸药，瞄准欧洲最大的露天购物中心发射。我们从那里为意大利报纸La Ragione的YouTube频道网站录制的一段影片，强调了对该基础设施发动攻击的真正意图，自战争开始以来，该基础设施已经遭到了八次不同的袭击。

在上次袭击发生后，这些亭子全都变成了废墟，在夏天之前，我们曾经解释过，那些下令发动这些袭击的人的目标不仅仅是摧毁大规模的民用基础设施，还要摧毁它创造的数百个工作岗位，以及支撑国家经济的众多小企业。
昨天整晚，俄军持续轰炸附近的楚胡伊夫区，摧毁了十几所房屋，并将超过 35 个车库以及许多汽车变成了冒烟的金属残骸。由于救援和消防行动仍在进行中，因此在本文交付时，伤亡人数仍难以确定，但已知至少有八名平民和一名警察受重伤。

恶劣天气加重了损失。乌克兰已经连续几天都在下雨，迫使志愿者和消防员赶去疏散被困在废墟中的人和其他被洪水围困的人们。
仅在敖德萨，就有9人死亡，在炸弹和暴雨中，有362人在最后一分钟获救。

俄罗斯军队在前线陷入困境，继续遭受各方面的损失，无法为被乌克兰军队包围的任何部队提供支援。
在那个泥泞和瓦砾的炼狱中，时间由一个与电网断开八天的发电厂的核钟所凝固。乌克兰总统在强调局势的危急性的呼吁中宣布：“向被俄罗斯人挟持的埃内霍达尔工厂供电的二级柴油发电机坏了，其余的发电机从未运作过这么久。”
希望最终陷入同样停摆的政府的主管会明白这一点，尤其是在需要做出具体的政治决策时。
外交手段已经失败，从战斧导弹开始，人们又开始谈论大规模向乌克兰注入武器，让普丁明白他已经失败，这是他唯一听得懂的语言。这从一开始就很明显，但为了取悦目前的美国政府，我们最终陷入了等待和半心半意的决策的困境，在过去九个月里没有取得任何进展。乌克兰再也无法承受华盛顿方面进一步的政治摇摆，绥靖美国对俄罗斯侵略的脆弱反应。
