Russian forces could launch another large-scale airstrike on infrastructure, focusing on the heart of the state. The aim of such actions is to destabilize the internal situation and provoke protests among the population.
Military commentator Denys Popovych warned on the air of “Pryamoy” that the probability of an attack on Kyiv exceeds 50%, since the energy situation is currently on the verge.
According to him, the purpose of such actions is to destabilize the internal situation and provoke protests among the population. The calculation of the invaders is that due to the lack of heat and light, citizens may demand that the authorities agree to the Kremlin’s conditions, Popovych added.
“The probability is over 50% that the next strike will be directed at Kyiv. The enemy is counting on the fact that riots and street blockades and human protests may begin in Kyiv,” the military observer believes.
He also expressed his belief that the enemy is waiting for the moment of greatest cooling to inflict maximum damage. Currently, the enemy’s strategic aviation has been moved to the Engels airfield, which indicates preparation for the operation, – said Denys Popovych.
As is known, Ukraine’s energy system is in difficult conditions due to intensive Russian shelling and the most severe winter in 20 years. In connection with the emergency situation in the energy sector, the Government has identified a set of measures to overcome its consequences.
At the same time , Ukraine cannot cover more than a third of its domestic electricity needs due to damage to the power system. Consumption reached 18 gigawatts the day before, while the system’s capacity is only 11 gigawatts.
Due to Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, many Ukrainians are left without electricity and heating in the winter. Safe ways to heat homes and dangerous methods that can lead to poisoning or explosion are listed .
