Russia and Ukraine and a conflict without a horizon of peace
In recent weeks, Russia has increased attacks against Ukrainian energy infrastructure and railway networks ahead of the arrival of winter. It is a common practice by Putin’s government, due to the always extreme conditions that winters in Eastern Europe offer.
Already last week, electricity outages occurred throughout Ukraine, affecting a part of kyiv for several hours.
The Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia to try “create chaos” with the recent bombings, which also affected gas infrastructure in the country. In turn, Ukraine carries out drone attacks against Russian refineries and pipelinesa tactic that has contributed to the fuel price increase in Russia in recent months.
