Meanwhile, ten million are without electricity in Ukraine. The electric grid continues to crumble while gas extraction facilities have been destroyed:

The Ukrainian gas giant Naftogaz reported on Thursday that Russia had attacked gas extraction facilities during the Thursday raid, with at least two sites destroyed and others damaged. Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmigal reported a strike at the missile producer Yuzhmash in the city of Dnepr in the southeastern part of Ukraine.

The Russian military started targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure in early October, after a deadly explosion damaged the Crimean Bridge. Moscow pinned the blame for the truck bombing on Ukrainian military intelligence and stated that it was just the most recent Ukrainian attempt to damage civilian infrastructure in Russia.

The airstrikes have significantly degraded the Ukrainian energy system, forcing operators to introduce rolling blackouts. The head of the electricity provider of Kiev Region warned this week that, in some areas, scheduled outages may need to be replaced with scheduled periods of service due to worsening shortages.

How about tens of thousands of residences in Ukraine reduced to unlivable rubble? Ukraine people (like most Europeans) live mostly in apartment style buildings. Individual family homes is unique to North America.

I can’t imagine the horrific life in Ukraine with winter coming on fast. No electricity, little water, food scarce.

May be Zelensky will agree to no NATO membership, but it is already too late.
