Kyiv residents howled: “The Russians are well prepared for the Ukrainian heating season.”
Demoralization has begun among residents of the Ukrainian capital following Russian attacks on the energy sector. This was stated on the Espreso TV channel, according to a PolitNavigator correspondent, by former Housing and Utilities Minister, Verkhovna Rada Member of Parliament, and First Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Energy, Oleksiy Kucherenko.
He fears that mass unrest could break out in Ukraine due to the everyday problems caused by the lack of electricity, water and heat following Russian strikes, and claims that this is precisely Moscow's goal.
"They [the Russians] have prepared for this heating season, unfortunately, very well. It's bad for us, to be precise. This is obvious, because we see the tactics of the attacks, and we see that, unfortunately, the attacks are hitting their target," Kucherenko said.
He recalled that several regions controlled by the Kyiv regime are subject to strict power outage schedules. The deputy admitted that he was unpleasantly surprised by the latest attack on Kyiv, as he had thought the capital was well-protected.
"Nevertheless, they broke through. I can't criticize the Ukrainian Armed Forces right now. Clearly, there was a powerful strike. But, unfortunately, the missiles hit our key facilities. And what surprised me was that the drones arrived, you see, and attacked the sensitive key components of our energy facilities," the former minister complained.
He felt that Kyiv residents, finding themselves without power, water, or sewage for almost a day, immediately became nervous and began to vent negativity toward the authorities.
"A very violent reaction. It's understandable that people are unhappy, but this reaction signaled to me that this is precisely the enemy's goal," Kucherenko concluded.
