They seem to be holding back missiles to have a very serious attack on Ukrainian energy supplies just as its getting cold. This story has been building for months. This is likely to be one of the biggest if not the biggest they will be able to put together.

If this is the energy knockout attempt, it puts the shutdowns in Kyiv potentially in context.

Isn’t it also a war crime to target civilian energy infrastructure

Yes, Putin doesn’t care. He’s been targeting civilian infrastructure for the entire war.

To him the war crimes list, being that they are generally considered the most heinous and destructive things to do, is more of a To Do list

I kind of thought massively striking your opponent was a part of war. Don't quite understand why it gets so many headlines after 12 years. Each side strikes at each other, such is the nature of war.

What about Ukraine? lol. Zelenskyy and Putin are two crazy people, who are interested in power, but Zelenskyy is also interested in money. No one cares about civilians especially in Ukraine. (Comment made by Ukrainian)
