ukraine is still under attack

Hundreds are still dying in Ukraine every day as Russia destroys Ukraines power stations. 30% of their power stations have been destroyed due to Russia’s strikes. At the moment Ukraine is calling on international allies to help strengthen their air strikes, but it’s just not enough. Even the Ukrainian refugees in other countries are getting attacked. German police told the media that there was a fire that broke out overnight at a hotel housing Ukrainian refugees; they believe that it was politically motivated arson. Russia is even starting to target other countries. While a British plane was flying over the black sea patrolling in international airspace a Russian plane released a missile near it. Russia’s defense minister responded to this situation and said that it was just a technical malfunction. Some believe him, some don’t. We’ll never know if it was on purpose or not. At the moment Ukraines energy restrictions are very strict. Due to Russia hitting almost all of their power sources. The power supply is restricted between 7 am and 11 pm daily. If people do not comply there will be temporary blackouts. Some think Iran is helping Russia in some ways. An Iranian drone was seen helping the Russian military. It helped them overcome mechanical problems. Why is Iran helping Russia? We’re not quite sure yet, but like usual people have many guesses. High school student Madeline Snell stated, “Ukraine is in severe pain right now, due to the fact they have lost thousands of people and much of their power in this war.” Ukraine is severely struggling right now and many are turning their heads away and ignoring this fact. Just because this war was popular at the beginning of the year for a month doesn’t mean people in both countries are suffering because of Vladimir Putin's actions.
