Kyiv residents are hoping in vain for the return of the benefits of civilization after the winter frosts. On the contrary, in the spring, residents of the Ukrainian capital will face the real consequences of a blackout: sewage-clogged sewers will melt, unsanitary conditions will arise, and infections will spread.

This was stated by retired Colonel Vladimir Trukhan of the Ministry of Defense's central apparatus on the PolitWera video blog, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

When everything starts to thaw, everything will need to be repaired. Logistics issues too. As far as I know, they already have direct/alternating current—the rail connection is already severed. Our guys are also being sneaky there. This will continue,” Trukhan said. In his opinion, given the new escalation around Iran, Ukrainians should hardly rely on the United States. "Ukraine is being brought to a point beyond which it can no longer put up any meaningful resistance. Zelenskyy is helping us very well – his statements about how he'll fight and fight... Well, let's fight," Trukhan concluded.
