Brief retelling from RIA II

Leszek Miller believes that the coming winter could be fatal for Ukraine.

In his opinion, increased attacks on the energy sector could “crush the country.”

MOSCOW, October 4 – RIA Novosti. The coming winter could be fatal for Ukraine due to the state of the energy infrastructure, says former Polish Prime Minister Leszek Miller.

This is how he commented on the words of Vladimir Zelensky that Kyiv supposedly expects to end the conflict with Russia before the onset of cold weather.

“When Zelensky says that he hopes that the war will end before winter, what is he thinking about? What do you think? What? Maybe winter will begin, and they will have neither electricity nor heat,” the politician said on the Polsat News TV channel.

In his opinion, the Kyiv regime’s attempts to attack targets on Russian territory have led to increased retaliatory attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, which, given the approaching winter, could “crush the country.”
