 Russia's winter attacks on infrastructure has started in Ukraine. After an initially barmy fall, temperatures are dropping in Ukraine, and Russia has already begun pummeling Ukraine's energy system in a reprise of its brutal attempt last autumn and winter to demoralize Ukrainians by plunging them into darkness and cold, according to the Washington Post. It is noted that last winter there were a lot of difficult nights when Russian forces sent waves of missiles and drones in a bid to destroy Ukraine's energy infrastructure, said Fox, one of three soldiers manning a German-made, Gepard-Flakpanzer mobile anti-aircraft system at a position not far from Kiev. One time, they sent 20 drones together at a position, said Fox, who is being identified only by a call sign in keeping with Ukrainian military protocol. But this winter will be a lot worse, he said. Fox appears to know what he's talking about. Two weeks ago, Ukraine's Air Force said Russia launched 43 cruise missiles at targets across the country, seven slipped through the air defenses and some struck energy installations. Ukrainego, the state energy supplier, said the first strikes of energy targets in six months. The attacks caused temporary blackouts in parts of central and western Ukraine, including the Kiev region. Last year, Russia did not begin a concerted assault on infrastructure until October the 10th. We understand that the stage of energy terror in this heating season has already begun. Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmihal said.
