Russia's Cold Strategy: Strikes Target Power Plants to Make Cities Unlivable

Russia is systematically attacking power plants in Kyiv and Kharkiv, causing widespread blackouts and water shortages. This strategy appears to follow a plan to make major Ukrainian cities unlivable. The attacks continue despite a unilateral "energy ceasefire" declared by Donald Trump last week. Moscow has kept up its methodical strikes on Ukraine's power grid, with Kyiv hit especially hard. The goal, according to a Guardian report, is to punish Ukraine's population and push the country toward capitulation. With frontlines frozen, the Kremlin has shifted its focus to targeting civilians through the destruction of basic services.
