PS. Electrical energy has a mind of its own. Ukraine runs on USSR standards. Your plugs and their plugs an everything behind them are not the same. The west does not have the capacity to manufacture replacements for the power system including the trains. Why dont you go slobber on Xi to fix it. We can not replace the transformers. Learn some stuff. Ukraine is a Russian vassal again (very soon) because you ran out like an idiot in front and had no clue. Your war is lost.

The “west” is perfectly capable of manufacturing anything they need, and indeed the Ukrainians are perfectly capable of adapting what they send.

Its just more trouble, more work. But such is war.

The Ukrainians are adapting western diesel locomotives right now. They received US GE diesels before the war, and are getting more.

“Electrical energy has a mind of its own”

I have no idea what comment you are referencing.
But, I agree each of us ‘learn some stuff’ everyday. :)

Transformers! More than meets the eye...

And yes I know a ****-load about transformers.

Whatever they need, it can be had. Everything - everything - is just work.

In the 1940s, the U.S. shipped armaments, foodstuffs, electrical equipment, medical supplies, etc. valued at $11.3 billion (in 1940-dollars) to the Soviet Union.

What could be done 80 years ago can be done again today (but this time, for Ukraine).
