2. I never created a Link account

Russia brings darkness to #Ukraine, but dawn still breaks. Putin's military intensified its systematic long-range attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, a campaign that has plunged millions of Ukrainians into darkness and cold winter for the fourth year of the invasion. These deliberate strikes target power generation facilities, transmission systems, and substations across the country, aiming to destroy the power grid and terrorize the civilian population.
Following one of the most massive Russian attacks on Odesa on December 13, social media users captured a beautiful sunrise over the Black Sea.
