It appears that Ukraine will need to raise the issue of a potential new influx of refugees to Europe in negotiations once again. This time, it's due to the humanitarian crisis deliberately caused by the Russian Federation as part of its war strategy.
Attacks targeting civilian infrastructure are not just intended to cripple the Ukrainian economy; they're part of a larger plan to obliterate the means of survival, even in cities equipped with anti-aircraft defenses.
Clearly, we should brace ourselves for widespread power outages, regardless of location. Therefore, it's crucial to step up negotiations with international partners who have some foresight, rather than getting caught up in the pre-election chaos of the present day.
