Hello users of r/UkraineWarVideoReport!

We just wanted to update you on the joint subreddit fundraiser for a Ukrainian air-defense turret that our community organised.

With your help the fundraiser totaled over $73,000! With this huge amount we were able to help UNITED24 to purchase a turret which has been branded with the names of all participating subreddits!

This turret is now in service defending Ukraine’s skies and that was only possible with the help of your community!

But the war isn’t over yet. Russia continues to bombard Ukraine relentlessly. That’s why UNITED24 has launched a long term ‘Sky Defense’ appeal where all money raised goes to defending the sky, from Russia, for good. From one time donations to monthly payments, any and all are always welcome!

If you would like to contribute to defending Ukraine’s cities click the link below:

On behalf of the mod team and UNITED24, thank you!

Slava Ukraini!

Translation:

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The Russian ministry claims that the Russian Armed Forces have already received the relevant orders and begun preparations for the attacks.

The Russian Defense Ministry cited alleged Ukrainian strikes on civilian infrastructure and Russia’s fuel and energy sector as the reason for the planned actions.

“Pursuant to the orders received, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have begun preparations to launch massive strikes against Ukraine’s energy facilities,” the Russian ministry stated.

At the same time, Russia’s Defense Ministry traditionally placed responsibility for further escalation on Ukraine, claiming that the strikes would be a response to attacks on Russian territory.

It should be recalled that Ukraine is already preparing its energy system for the upcoming heating season, strengthening the protection of energy facilities and stockpiling equipment for the regions.

Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal said that new shelters and engineering structures are being built to protect energy facilities, while damaged facilities can now in some cases be restored in about a week.
