This is how Putin is preparing for winter: hoping to torment millions of Ukrainians, ordinary families, women, children, ordinary towns, ordinary villages. Putin wants to leave them in the dark and cold this winter, forcing Ukraine to suffer and surrender.
The knock-on effects from extended power outages would be many - from cutoffs of water and heating, to delivering further blows to the country's already limping economy. But the biggest victim of all could be Ukrainians' already battered psyches.
This winter we could be in deep, deep trouble... As the winter progresses, people may grow worn down, depressed and hopeless.
