revenge of Putin it’s raining from the sky. Dozens of missiles will be launched by Russian Black Sea and Caspian Fleet units in the evening, hitting energy infrastructure across the countryUkraine from the east and the south: The flames were extremely high at the Kharkiv power plant, the country’s second power plant, from where Kiev’s victorious counterattack has emanated in recent days. The aim of the Russians was to eliminate the light, the blackout that lasted for hours. «Moscow warns the President in a video Zelensky – hopes to break our resistance in winter. He reckons with the heating problems in Ukraine and a possible weakening of western support due to the rise in energy prices in Europe”. Yesterday’s rockets and the blackout would only be a taste of the winter friend. The blackouts in the Kharkiv, Donetsk regions and in the south in Zaporizhia, Dnepropetrovsk and Sumy are the responsibility of Russia. “There are no military structures,” Zelensky insists – and the goal is to leave the civilian population without light and heating. Russia’s terrorists remain terrorists and attack vital infrastructure ». In Moscow, however, the tsar must protect himself from the home front after recent defeats, and he is cold towards Defense Minister Shoigu. Russian military bloggers have recently attributed the defeat to Putin’s whim of wanting to centralize command of operations. Is it time to negotiate? Foreign Minister Lavrov declares that Russia “is not opposed to the negotiations”.
THE SITE
Now it is Moscow that is in danger of losing the ground it gained in 200 days of (failed) invasion. “There are Lavrov warns – delays that complicate the process.” Putin told the Duma, according to his diplomatic chief, that Ukrainians “should understand that the more they delay negotiations, the more difficult it will be to negotiate with us.” In order to persuade the tsar to come to an agreement, Macron had an “open and detailed” conversation with him on the phone yesterday, both about the military situation and the prospects for a dialogue as well as about the Zaporizhia nuclear plant, which was occupied by the Russians and shut down again yesterday from the Ukrainian power grid, as reported by the IAEA, and finally on the grain corridors. British intelligence has denied Moscow that only 60,000 tons of grain, 2 out of 87 shipments, reached third world countries. The proportion would be around a third. According to Putin, quoted by Lavrov, “Ukrainians have active support and support in delaying the negotiations from London, Washington and Brussels”.
THE GOAL
The French President asks the Tsar at least for a ceasefire, with the ultimate goal of a peace process. But the answer is rockets. Politico-military analysts warn that Putin could resort to the nuclear tactical weapon, the mini-nuclear bombs, capable of inciting panic. A signal of failure on the Putinian front comes from Chechen leader Kadyrov, who, after sending volunteer battalions to the front and restarting their warlike videos, takes it out on the authorities, who “continue to remain silent” in the face of the Kharkiv defeat and just yesterday they circulated a map of the withdrawal, justifying it as a “group”. Kadyrov admits that “mistakes were made and those responsible must take action, the strategy of military special operations must be changed, otherwise I myself will become the Ministry of Defense and go to the Russian leaders to explain this hellish situation”. Then he promises that the recaptured cities will be resumed: “We will arrive in Odessa.”
