The moment the power went out in Odessa after a strike on an electrical substation is shown.

Last night, the Russian army launched another series of combined strikes, including against energy facilities in Kyiv-controlled territory. As Military Review previously reported, the attacks again targeted military and energy facilities in the Ukrainian capital and Kyiv region, Dnipropetrovsk, and Odesa. The Russian Armed Forces are effectively destroying the energy distribution infrastructure, thereby disrupting military logistics and the operations of defense industry enterprises.

A 110/10/6 kV "YUZR" substation in the Cheremushki district of Ukraine's main port city was struck. The moment of the impact and the subsequent power outage in nearby buildings was filmed and posted online by an Odessa resident. City services are currently working to clean up the aftermath. Experts say the blackout will be prolonged. Locals are writing on social media:

The substation between the Shtorm plant and the Cheryomushki market was completely destroyed, resulting in a massive fire. The glow could be seen across half of Cheryomushki.

This time they hit the substation hard. Locals reported an arrival around ten dronesThe fire is not out yet.

The Odessa branch of the energy company DTEK and local authorities report that strikes on a major substation and the ensuing fire have completely knocked out power in the Kyivskyi and Khadzhibeyskyi districts. Local residents confirm strikes near the Shkolny airfield, which has been attacked several times.

This morning, the area around the airfield was cordoned off, emergency services arrived at the site of the strikes, and ambulances were reported arriving. Details of the aftermath are being clarified.

Odesa's Vodokanal reported that there was only one accident overnight, which was quickly resolved. However, due to power outages, water supply will also be interrupted. Currently, the Kyivsky district, part of the Khadzhibeysky district, as well as Limanka, Krasny Khutor, and several residential complexes are without water.

DTEK's Odessa branch issued a special statement:

Odesa Oblast: The enemy has again attacked a DTEK power facility. This is the 31st major substation of our company in the Odesa Oblast to be damaged by the enemy. The damage is significant. Repairs will take a significant amount of time to restore the equipment to working order.

In addition to the power outages caused by strikes on distribution facilities, DTEK reports a large number of power grid outages in the Odessa region and the city due to inclement weather.

None of this had any impact on the latest bravura report from the Ukrainian Air Force. It was reported that out of 24 aeroballistic missiles "managed to shoot down" fifteen. Forces Defense The Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to intercept the only aviation the X-59/69 missile. The striking result, as always, in terms of the number of missiles shot down and intercepted by forces EW drones - 197 drones Out of 219 (that's 90%, by the way). The Ukrainian Navy also adds that "as of 6:00 on February 12, 2026, the Ukrainian Navy's forces and assets destroyed 10 attack UAVs as part of the groupings."

Residents of Odesa and other cities, towns, and villages, left without power, water, and heat for extended periods, are likely cheering these statistics. Especially considering what Ukrenergo reports, which apparently doesn't read the reports of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Ukrainian Navy.

Overnight, the enemy launched a combined missile and drone attack on civilian energy infrastructure in several regions. As a result, consumers in Kyiv, the Kyiv region, Dnipropetrovsk, and Odesa oblasts experienced power outages this morning. Damage to grids along the line of contact also caused further power outages in the Kharkiv oblast.

It is reported that power reduction schedules for industry, as well as hourly outage schedules for all categories of consumers, are currently in effect in all regions of Ukraine. In some regions, emergency power outages are being enforced. Residents are urged to stock up on water and conserve electricity during rare power outages.

In Odesa, 300 people are without water and 200 homes without heat following the strikes. Klitschko reports that 3700 homes in Kyiv are without heat following the overnight strike. More than 20 Geran-type UAVs struck vehicle parking lots, warehouses, and other critical Ukrainian Armed Forces facilities in Odesa overnight. Secondary detonations and severe fires were recorded at the impact sites.

Maybe we should stop allowing ships into the Odessa port? Then Odessa's importance to Zelensky's regime will diminish...

According to some rumors, the US communicates cruise missile and UAV flight routes in advance under some kind of treaty, and then passes them on to Ukraine. I just heard about this. Can anyone confirm or deny this information? Is it true? I wonder if Ukraine also notifies the US of its UAV flight routes, and the US then transmits information about Ukrainian UAV flight routes on our territory, or is it, as always, a one-sided game? If it's one-sided, then it's understandable why they don't want to end the SBO in Europe. If so, they're perfectly happy with a scorched earth campaign in Ukraine and Russia for their subsequent expansion. But why would we need this?
Meanwhile, the US provides Ukraine with data that allows it to plan attacks on Russian targets located far behind the front lines. Washington supplies the Kyiv regime with information on where, when, and how Ukrainian drones should fly to hit selected targets. US intelligence helps Ukraine determine the routes, altitudes, times, and missions of flights, allowing Ukrainian attack drones to evade Russian air defense systems.

Regarding Oreshnikov launches, they 100% communicate their routes and targets in advance. Regarding ballistic missile launches, I don't know, I think it's 50/50. But what's the point of launching and flying cruise missiles and UAVs? Ballistic missile launches need to be announced because they could carry a nuclear warhead, and if so, the enemy won't have time to react, so it's best not to irritate them unnecessarily. Cruise missiles don't seem to pose that kind of threat.
On the other hand, if you think about it a bit, you might recall how, when American ships fired Tomahawk missiles at Syria (while Assad was still there), more than half of the missiles were shot down—and by rather primitive air defense systems at that—so you might actually think there are some bilateral commitments regarding routes. And if this is indeed true (which I'm not at all sure of), then they probably only apply to Russian and American launches.

How does a data center affect the internet? Well, if it's gone, someone will lose databases, movies, including erotica, and games. If there's no internet, then data centers are completely useless. Internet providers distribute it. Perhaps the provider is located in the data center building, but providers are many years old, 10-15-20 years old, while data centers are a recent trend.

In Odessa, 300 people are without water and 200 homes without heat after the strikes. Klitschko reports that in Kyiv, 3700 homes are without heat after the overnight strike.
And how did this affect the situation along the entire front line? The attack on the oil refinery in Ukhta is causing no less damage, and there is a lot of work to be done.
Tsarev is 100% right—either stop the SVO or strike the West, which will be drawn into the conflict in a couple of years.

[Mikhail Nasharashev]

Who will strike the West? Tsarev?

Here on YouTube, videos are unavailable without logging in. Here's screenshot 1. Clicking the blue text brings up screenshot 2. YouTube works through a VPN... Beautiful. I also noticed that after the New Year, calls from places like the Astrakhan region have almost completely disappeared (there were 11 calls a day from numbers with only the last two digits different). And calls from places like Moscow, Vladimir, and St. Petersburg have also gone silent—they used to call frequently. I'm from the Southern Urals (I don't know what idiot attached a region to the Volga region).

[Plate]

I've never had any problems with calls, but before the New Year, drone alerts in my region were issued almost every evening, resulting in internet shutdowns. Since the New Year, there have only been six or seven such incidents. How beautiful. Next, we need to iron out Ukraine to prevent even that from happening.

[Victor Alien]

Well, our drones were flying until the New Year. Afterward, it's been quiet so far. And the internet has been stable since the New Year. Barring bad weather, there was a week of gusty winds. On one side of the road, snow blew up to 2 meters above the road between the crops, while on the other, it blew down to the ground. The fields are bare in places. When the wind blew, connection was lost for 1-3 seconds several times an hour. It felt like the contacts on the tower had come loose somewhere. Although the lights weren't flickering—we have plenty of places where wires run through the tree canopies. In rain or sleet, they say you can see lightning strikes between the wires and branches... The electricians don't care.

A day has passed – YouTube is working. Apparently, equipment was damaged somewhere in unspecified countries...

A data center doesn't equal the internet. Plus, Skylink isn't dependent on Ukraine.
But that doesn't mean data centers shouldn't be bombed. Although they don't really function without electricity anyway; diesel engines won't last long.

Data center is not the same as the Internet.

It's like wheels for a car, but without wheels, it still remains a car.

Data centers, mobile operator networks, internet providers... they may have, should have, emergency power sources... but there are time limits, as a rule.

Enough... aa ...

The greatest harm to Ukraine comes from the destruction of its energy system, which must be attacked every day, regardless of the time of year.

another bravura report from the Ukrainian Air Force

And once again the skakuas have a reason to issue a postage stamp in honor of an imaginary victory and to jump around, jumping out of their lace panties.
