This is closer to what I expected earlier. Why waste manpower and munitions when you can bring then to their knees by cutting off the comforts that keep them competitive. This also cuts off their export capacity of their being able to produce ferrous metals like cast iron, rolled steel and steel pipe. It also will hammer their agricultural capacity which accounts for 41% of their overall exportation.
Russia never wanted to destroy the Ukraine. They’re worth too much. So if they can quietly force them into submission through cutting off creature comforts like heat, food, and worth, they come out well ahead as they just take it over. They should have started this way and kept everyone else out of it but Putin’s too egotistical.

I expect all pro-Zelensky posters to move to Ukraine to fight the evil Putin. I am sure they are all tired of posting Ukraine victories here. Now they are ready to go into action to bring Putin down.
