Ukraine’s Power Grid Is Crumbling—Zelenskyy Wants Missiles, Not Promises

WooGlobe

As Ukraine faces a brutal winter under relentless Russian airstrikes, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is making an urgent plea to the United States—25 Patriot missile systems to shield the skies. With power plants destroyed, blackouts sweeping the country, and 170,000 Russian troops closing in on key eastern cities, Ukraine’s defences are stretched to the breaking point.  Germany has already sent more Patriots than any other ally, but it’s not enough. Zelenskyy is now calling on European nations to lend their systems and receive replacements later. The situation is dire—missiles, drones, and freezing temperatures are threatening millions. WooGlobe Ref : WGA706743 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com

00:00Ukraine is freezing, cities are dark, and President Zelensky says there's only one way to stop it, 25 Patriot missile systems.

00:08As Russian airstrikes rain down and winter tightens its grip, Ukraine's air defenses are stretched to the limit.

00:14Zelensky just announced he wants to order 25 Patriot systems from the United States.

00:19But there's a catch. They're expensive and take years to produce.

00:23So he's urging European allies to lend their systems now and get replacements later.

00:27Germany has already stepped up, sending more Patriots than any other country.

00:32But even with support, Ukraine's skies remain dangerously exposed.

00:37Russia's new tactic? Overwhelm defenses by launching hundreds of drones and missiles, region by region.

00:43The goal is clear. Cripple Ukraine's energy grid.

00:46And it's working. Blackouts are spreading, and people are huddling in heated tents just to survive.

00:52Zelensky warns, without more air defenses, heating and water could vanish in a brutal winter.

00:58And with 170,000 Russian troops massing near Pokrovsk, time is running out.

01:03Will the world respond fast enough?

01:06Let's go!

01:10We can still run.

01:12Go, there.

01:16We can't breathe.

01:19Come, there.

01:24We can't breathe.

01:25We can't breathe.
