After the statements of the Kiev 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. So far, according to representatives of the Ukrainian authorities, up to half of all generating and distribution capacities have been disabled by Russian strikes.
The Austrian Ministry of Defense, commenting on the situation, noted that a complete blackout in Ukraine could 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, Ukraine will receive a complete failure of the power system, since the load on it has increased significantly.
Colonel Reisner:
At the same time, a member of the strategic council of the Austrian Defense Ministry directly stated that it is not possible to create a saturated air defense system in Ukraine in such a short time – at least because of the large number of objects that need to be covered from strikes.
The Austrian colonel notes that while the West was paying all its attention to the events at the front, he was clearly distracted from Russia's capabilities with regard to strikes against Ukraine. Reisner is sure that in the West these opportunities were clearly underestimated.
