This means Russia no longer is confining themselves to a, "special operation."

The message, to the Ukes and the West, is that all of Ukraine could be without water and power within hours if Russia chooses to make it happen.

What a mess. A humanitarian crisis with massive immigration, and at the same time the Russians could entirely cut off the natural gas.

I guess Brussels has thought of that already and has a plan.

Other than moving troops into Ukraine, I don't know what it would be, though.

Absent nukes, Russia doesn’t have anywhere near the ability to turn the lights out in the entire country.

Zelensky to Russia, tonight...

[wardaddy]

If they attacked Kiev with Grozny vigor this would be over

Russia is fighting a limited war

It’s costly

The total war concept is possibly a risk they can’t take

Reducing Kiev like we did Baghdad is I think politically infeasible

I could be wrong

*we bombed Baghdad alone over 1000 sorties per day for 20 days in 2003
More in 1991

Power and water has stayed on mostly in Kiev even when a Russian convoy was parked 20 miles outside Kiev beginning of war

Life must be pure hell in Ukraine right now. How many million Ukrainians have fled the country so far?
