Insider: Russia will give Ukrainians a black winter in response to attacks on its refineries

The head of the Office of the President of Ukraine (OPU) Kirill Budanov❶ was preparing a report to Zelensky, which examines scenarios of possible Kremlin responses to attacks on Russian refineries.

This was reported on Saturday, July 11 by the Ukrainian Telegram channel "Resident", referring to an informed source in the OPU. According to him, a total energy lockdown is considered among the most serious consequences for Ukraine.

Budanov's report❶ says that under this scenario, the Russians can simply take out all gas distribution stations, cutting off the supply of gas to consumers.

In addition, Moscow may resume attacks on large thermal power plants in Ukrainian regional centers. Taking into account the consequences of past strikes, this will lead to a black winter on Ukraine.

However, Zelensky, according to the source, is guided solely by his own interests. He believes that he will be able to "put the squeeze on Putin" until the fall and move to the negotiating track on his own terms.

And the Ukrofyurer needs all this in order to be re-elected for a new presidential term. Then he will remain at the helm of power and will be able to wage war "to the last Ukrainian."

Earlier, EADaily reported that high-precision Russian weapons are guaranteed to overcome any means of air or missile defense of Ukraine provided to Kiev by Western sponsors. This was stated in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
