<****NOW UPDATED THROUGH MID-EVENING (U.S. ET) OF DECEMBER 10****> December
8, 2025: While Dreizin takes his first-ever true “vacation” from this blog,
the YooKraynian Hour of No Power has finally almost arrived. Perhaps due
to colder weather in Europe (thus less juice exported to western
YooKrayne), also considering that these 2 regions are economically &
logistically marginal AND seen as less loyal, scheduled power outages were
at 10+ hours/day in some zones of Chernovtsy & Transcarpathia EVEN BEFORE
the Russian big raid of overnight/morning December 5-6 & the follow-on,
smaller raid of overnight December 6-7. As of now (early evening YooKrayne
time, December 8), following regional electric authority attempts to
establish schedules that included daily outages of up to around 17-18 hours
in many zones, the cities & provinces of (at least) Kharkov,
Dnepropetrovsk, Poltava (update: Poltava back on schedule by mid-evening –
all zones at least 14 hours out today), Sumy, Zaporozhie, as well as
Kirovgrad (WEST of the Dniepr) are under emergency status, with no
scheduled power at all (may come on, may come off, mostly off, who knows?)
ALSO, all but 1 of 24 (in total) service zones across Lvov &
Ivano-Frankovsk cities & provinces was/is in the low double-digit outage
hours today, VERY unusual, probably never happened before. (Update: Both
regions scheduled for big improvement tomorrow, we shall see!) In short,
probably the biggest power crisis since early-mid January 2023. UPDATE:
Schedules going up for tomorrow (December 9), showing the usual post-attack
recovery trend BUT unmistakeable degradation. For **1st time** this
autumn/winter season or perhaps ever, Kharkov city & province will have
only 1 zone with less than a double-digit hour outage (likely indicating
reduced service to one military industrial-logistical priority zone in the
city.) Likewise **a 1st** for this season, a good majority of Odessa
city/province’s 12 service zones will have (low) double-digit hour outages,
and, Dnepropetrovsk city hating life with 3 zones (likely low-income
residential) at 17 hours off. AND, strangely, Kiev city is showing no
improvement, even degrading DESPITE not being a major target of last
attacks—every one of its 12 zones is double-digit hours (mostly around
12-13) out for tomorrow. // December 10: DEGRADATION CONTINUES. Although
there has not been a major (or any) Russian raid on the Kiev area this
month, most electric service zones in Kiev city & province are out today
for at least 12 hours, with one in the city being out for 16 hours, & two
in the province for 17 hours. (They are still failing to fix the capital,
wow! Survival was predicated on always fixing before the NEXT raid.) Also,
in Dnepropetrovsk province (not the city), most zones out today for 13.5+
hours, three of which for 16 hours. Zaporozhie (incl. city) by far the
worst (outliers smoothed BUT average is far worse) of this season to date,
with all zones out at least 12 hours, six out 15. Schedules for tomorrow
(December 11) now coming out: Odessa city & province, probably worst of
the war–All zones tomorrow at double-digit hours off (the **1st** time this
season, for sure), 3/4 at 13.5+ off, of which three at 16.5 off. Zhitomir,
five of 12 zones at 16 hours off, a straight-line downtrend in recent days,
despite zero attacks west/southwest of Kiev province since morning of
December 7. —-> HOLY CRAP!!! —-> Cherkassy (city & province) going from all
zones 3-4 hours off Dec 10 to all 13-16 off Dec 11, with hardly any change
in the local weather!!! //

As the independent voice behind LibertarianToday.com, I don't ask for much help, but I'm asking now...
As regular readers of this blog already know, rarely do I ask for money for what I do here, and as I will personally testify right now, rarely do I get donations anyway.
If all of the donations I've received over the years were divided by all of the hours I've spent working on this blog, it would amount to well under minimum wage...in India!
One reason I don't like to ask for donations is because I don't want people to think I'm somehow in this for the money, or that I've got monetary ulterior motives for what I do, because I don't.
However, economic times are tough, and I've lost a couple of regular donors who were able to at least keep me supplemented at the third world minimum wage rate.
C'mon. I know this isn't the most popular blog in the world, nor does it cover the most pleasant or popular subjects. But the subjects it does cover are increasingly crucial, and the perspective it brings is almost totally unique.
So what I'm asking is that each of my regular readers find it in their heart to make a donation TODAY.
Please don't put it off to tomorrow, or next week, or never, because the money is needed NOW. However large or small, please give what you can.
And if you can afford to give regularly to keep me "rolling in the dough" at third world subsistence levels with regular donations going forward, please do. But, at the very least, please click on yellow "Donate" bar to the right TODAY, and help get me through the lean times so we can all keep the journey going together.
Sincerely, Chris Moore
P.S. The donation will show up on your statement as to "Chris Moore, editor."
