Ukraine Preparing for a Long Winter of Continued Airstrikes

 Although not much talk is happening any longer of the Russian and Ukranian war, tensions continue to tighten as the winter approaches. 

Ukranies allies met on October 11th to discuss what their plan of action is as the winter approaches. Ukraine's power grid has been a continued place in which enemies are targeting. Ukraine has spent money to build concrete defenses around their most important power grids, as well as invested in backup generators, to try and prevent future total blackouts. 

However, Ukrainian forces and allies are discussing whether or not Ukraine will be able to last through the harsh winter approaching. Ukrainian expert, Nico Lange, stated that he worries that Ukraine does not have enough sufficient supplies to stand off their attackers. However, Ukraine has become almost entirely dependent upon Western Systems for their war technology. 

Therefore, as the winter approaches it is important to stay connected to what is occurring in Ukraine as it seems that Ukraine has reached its final breaking point in the war. Therefore, only time will be able to tell what will occur through the winter and if Ukraine can last the continued airstrikes from enemies.

  2. This is definite a very large area of concern for Ukraine, they already have a fairly week power grid and on top of that the winters in this country can be very harsh. It will be interesting to see how the country combats it.

  3. The situation in Ukraine remains a big concern as winter nears. Despite their efforts to keep strong and durable power grids, they are concerned about their ability to withstand ongoing attacks. Ukraine's dependence on Western support for war technology makes the situation worse. It will definitely be engaging to see how the whole thing unfolds this winter only time can tell.
