I’m connecting the dots behind the grid strikes—and why the timing matters. When energy infrastructure is hit, the damage isn’t measured only in megawatts. It shows up in heat, water, hospitals, industry, and morale. It forces Ukraine into brutal trade-offs: protect the front, or protect the grid; defend cities, or defend the systems that keep them functioning. And that’s the cruel logic: winter multiplies every outage. A blackout in mild weather is disruption. A blackout in deep cold becomes coercion. It compresses decision time, strains repair crews, and forces hard choices across the entire country.
