Russia plans to increase pressure on Ukraine in winter, media reports
According to the latest data from the German publication BILD, the Russian leadership expects the coming winter to be a decisive period in the war. Russia plans to use the cold season to increase pressure on Ukraine and its population.
The enemy's main strategy is to continue massive attacks. Russian forces plan to strike not only military targets but also critical infrastructure, particularly Ukraine's energy system. The goal of such actions is to create difficult living conditions for civilians.
Analysts note that Russia hopes to exhaust Ukrainian resistance through constant shelling of energy networks. In this way, the aggressor is trying to force Ukraine to capitulate, counting on the fact that winter will significantly complicate the situation in the country.
Despite these plans, the Ukrainian authorities and energy workers are actively preparing for potential challenges. Over the past few months, work has been underway to strengthen the energy system and prepare for the heating season in order to minimize the consequences of enemy attacks.
