I have just finished reading your excellent link. I strongly recommend it to anyone who would wish to understand the complexity of attacks on both petroleum and electrical energy production. This details pros and cons of Ukraine attacks on Russia and Russian claimed Ukraine territory and of Russian attacks on Ukraine cities and territory. This article which covers attacks up to Nov. 6th speculates on potential effects of lights out in Moscow, and compares the 2005 Moscow lights out event caused by Russian failure to modernize.

Obviously it cannot discuss the ONE NIGHT lights out Ukraine delivered to Moscow a few days ago, so perhaps this latest event was a dress rehearsal for the MULTI NIGHT lights out the article suggest will happen by the end of this year. It is pointed out that Ukraine has an “extension cord” to gain electrical help from Europe, whereas Russia has no such outside help with electrical energy. Views of Ukraine supporters who feel this approach of combined energy attacks will have a key effect on winning this war are evaluated by others (in particular a banker) who feel that while useful, this approach is incomplete as a key to final victory.

Belarus might have the technical capability to send electrical help to some parts of Russia like Kursk and Belgorod which had recent lights out events. However, given recent apparent unwillingness to allow Russia to use land travel to bring goods by truck to and from Kaliningrad, this may be wishful thinking if Russia has such thoughts. The other question is whether Belarus has such technical capability? Technical information from others would be appreciated.
