After the statements of the Kyiv regime about the first blackout in Ukraine, "which may happen again this week", the topic was actively picked up in the West. Experts analyze the situation, in which Ukraine may face a complete failure of the power supply system. Till, according to representatives of the Ukrainian authorities, up to half of all generating and distribution capacities disabled by Russian strikes.
At the Austrian Ministry of Defense, commenting on the situation, noted, that a complete blackout in Ukraine may occur in a few weeks. This statement was made by Markus Reisner, a member of the strategic military council of the Austrian military department.. According to him, if a full-scale air defense system is not deployed in Ukraine in the near future, then Ukraine will receive a complete failure of the energy system, as the load on it has increased significantly.
Colonel Reisner:
If the air defense system is not deployed, then Ukraine will plunge into darkness in a few weeks. At the same time, a member of the Strategic Council of the Austrian Ministry of Defense bluntly stated, that it is not possible to create a rich air defense system in Ukraine in such a short time - if only because of the large number of objects, which need to be protected from blows.
Austrian colonel notes, what, while the West paid all its attention to events at the front, he clearly digressed from Russia's ability to strike at Ukraine. Reisner sure, that in the West these opportunities were clearly underestimated.
Reisner:
In this regard, we lag behind Russia, who takes the initiative.
