Russia is preparing a large-scale campaign aimed at paralyzing Kyiv before winter. According to The Economist, the peak of these actions is expected by November 2026.
Massive Strikes and Diversions
The main methods that Russia plans to use to achieve its goals include:
- massive strikes on critical infrastructure
- diversions in various areas of the city
- attempts to sow political chaos among the population
These actions could have serious consequences for the functioning of Kyiv, especially with the approach of the winter season when the demand for energy resources increases.
Political Context
In addition to military threats, Russia is trying to influence the political situation in Ukraine. Attempts to destabilize the situation may include information campaigns that promote panic and uncertainty among the population. This could lead to increased social tension and political conflicts within the country.
