The Ukrainian authorities admit the possibility of evacuating the capital city of Kyiv in the event of a complete collapse of the energy infrastructure in the face of Russian bombing, which will lead to a general blackout. According to The New York Times, which broke the news, there are already plans to evacuate the roughly three million people currently living in Kyiv.
Thus, the forecasts indicating the entry into a new phase of the war with the advent of cold weather are confirmed. Aware of Ukraine’s harsh winter, when temperatures drop well below freezing, Putin’s troops ruthlessly attacked electrical installations, resulting in power outages in many places. Added hardship for the Ukrainian people in a war with no end in sight, which worries the Biden administration. The concern was confirmed by The Washington Post, according to which American diplomacy privately asked the Ukrainian government to leave open the possibility of peace talks with Russia.
This isn’t the first time an agreement has been called for between Ukrainians and Russians, but American pressure to reach an understanding has taken on a new dimension. And for the United States, this is the right time. If the winter is very harsh for Ukrainians, then, as The Washington Post recalls, low temperatures practically make hostilities impossible, opening a window of opportunity for diplomacy. On the way to nine months of conflict, “Ukraine fatigue has become a reality for some of our partners,” warns a US official, interviewed by the newspaper on condition of anonymity, underscoring the need to send Zelensky and Putin to shut their guns and sit down at the same table as soon as possible.
