Anastasiya Shapochkina - State of Lawlessness: Russia Resorts to Energy Terrorism in its Ukraine War

Life is becoming harder in Ukrainian cities as winter sets in and the  supply of power and heat become uncertain. People in big cities cannot  survive for long periods without heat. Russia’s campaign to cripple  Ukraine’s power infrastructure could therefore trigger a new wave of  emigration to Europe. Putin is resorting to terroristic threats, against  nuclear facilities, as his army loses on the frontlines.
