It's always an honor and a pleasure to be commenting at the Real Politick. I wanted to add two interesting points about Ukraine's power grid that I found in some rather obscure sources. First, it appears that Russia combines its kinetic attacks with cyber attacks as well, something I wasn't aware of earlier.

The other thing I read was that Ukrainian officials have stolen a lot of the funds and equipment donated by the West to restore energy infrastructure. The key point is that they wrote off a lot of equipment as destroyed by Russian attacks that never actually happened and now risk exposure as a result. The Ukrainians are still stealing anything that isn't nailed down and will end up being their own worst enemy if the grid starts to fail this winter, with or without Russia's help.
