War in Ukraine Heroism and death of soldier Evgeni Kiktenko
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday accused the Russian government of using winter as a weapon in the
war in Ukraine
and denounced Moscow's attacks on infrastructure and energy sources for Ukrainian citizens. .
Blinken thus accuses Putin of having intensified his offensive in recent weeks: "He has redoubled his bets on everything: mobilizing more force, annexing territory in Ukraine and now trying to use winter as a weapon."
Blinken stresses that because Russia "has not been able to win the
war with Ukraine
on the battlefield, Putin's government is now attacking Ukrainian civilians "by going against their energy infrastructure, trying to leave them without electricity and without heating." .
And it is that the Russian and Ukrainian troops are currently preparing to intensify their offensives in the dead of winter.
"Neither the Russians nor the Ukrainians are going to suspend their attacks in one of the seasons of the year that are most propitious for the maneuvers of mechanized units," the Institute for the Study of War in the United States pointed out in its latest report.
