It is astonishing with what malice and relish our propagandists (in my case, the prison cell radio) talk about the destruction of Ukraine’s energy system. Practically choking with delight, they reported how many cities had been left without electricity, how many people without heat, that the Kyiv metro had ground to a halt again, and details like “people are heating food over candles” send them into an ecstasy audible even in their voices. No, of course I do not expect these ghouls to show even the most basic sympathy for innocent civilians caught in a horrific situation. What puzzles me more is why they cannot look a little beyond the end of their own noses. First, these strikes on civilian infrastructure demonstrate nothing but the helplessness of the Russian army. After suffering several major defeats at the hands of Ukrainian forces, it is simply taking revenge on the civilian population. The population is certainly suffering, but there is no military logic to these strikes. And that is clearly how Russian citizens see it as well. Look at the second slide: the poll shows that only 14% of Russians still agree that the “special military operation” is going successfully. And that share declines with every passing month. The second point is that we are pounding Ukraine’s energy system with missiles designed back in the USSR (the Soviet Union). And with Iranian drones as well—flying mopeds—which nevertheless have turned out to be more technologically advanced than anything the Russian army possesses after 23 years under Supreme Commander-in-Chief Putin. And it is completely obvious that Ukraine, as a scientifically and industrially developed country, will certainly be able to create something better than an Iranian flying moped. We have already seen in practice how our air defense works—not at all. If Ukraine was able to strike a strategic aviation airfield deep inside the country, then we will soon find out that, as the saying goes, this game can be played by two. And then the Ukrainians will cut off electricity and heat first in Kursk, then in Voronezh, and then in Moscow. Who will we complain to when our children’s food has to be warmed over a candle flame? It is clear what the propagandists will say: in response to our peaceful, humanitarian strikes, they are carrying out terrorist and Russophobic missile attacks. But that will not sound convincing at all.
