Why It Matters
Ukraine continues to face the destruction of its energy infrastructure amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
Ukraine, against the backdrop of the ongoing destruction of its energy capacities, can join Russia, says First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Defense Alexey Zhuravlev. His words are quoted by Gazeta.Ru.
“If we mean the territory that is now occupied by a pseudo-state called Ukraine, then everything will be fine for it - in winter, spring, and summer, especially after it is once again reunited with Russia. But the Kyiv regime will have a hard time with the onset of cold weather,” Zhuravlev indicated, explaining that the citizens of Ukraine will soon understand that Vladimir Zelensky “is simply deceiving them,” and “it’s only his fault that the country can freeze.”
According to him, today half of the energy capacity on the territory of Ukraine is out of order. “And if our army tries, we can finish off the second half in the fall,” the deputy concluded.
