Zel won’t ‘grid’ & bear it

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Kyiv officials for their handling of power outages in a rare departure from his cultivated image of national unity.

Zelensky suggested that Kyiv’s Mayor Vitali Klitschko had not done enough to recover from the blackouts caused by Russian missile attacks on the energy grid.

Ukraine had set up “invincibility centers” after the attacks where people can access water, heat and the Internet.

“Points of invincibility are deployed throughout the country . . . unfortunately, not in all cities the local government has done a good job,” Zelensky said in a video posted late Friday. “In particular, there are many complaints in Kyiv.”
