Why Russia is targeting critical infrastructure in Ukraine?

Recent russian missile attacks targeting Ukrainian critical infrastructure left most of Ukraine without electricity. These attacks which repeat every 3-4 weeks are very problematic for Ukraine. Even though Ukrainian air defense shots down 70-80% of russian missiles, still Ukrainian critical infrastructure is having a hard time. According to the latest statistics, 20% of Ukrainian electric infrastructure is completely destroyed and another 50% is damaged.

Qatar World Cup controversies

 On 20th of November national teams of Ecuador and Qatar officially started World Cup. Ecuador easily won 2:0 against Qatar.

Very upsetting is that FIFA is turning this beautiful sport into business, where money is more important than sport.

For example, Bolsonaro was accused of being a cannibal and pedophile and Lula was accused of being a satanist, communist and a gang leader.

Apart from that, he was known as antiscientific, who was cutting Amazon tropical forest despite the climate changes. The next few weeks will be crucial for Brazilian ...
