Text reported from Ukrainian politician Vitali Klitschko.

Commentary by Russian military journalist is in italics.

[ColonelCassad] Results.

Those suffering can only blame the regime of the cocaine-fueled Führer for what's happening, for some reason thinking that Russia wouldn't turn off the lights in Ukraine in response to attacks on infrastructure. But it won't just be the lights that will be turned off. So, the advice to dig toilets in the streets is not without merit.

It's impossible to fully supply Kyiv with electricity using generators. Kyiv requires 2 GW of electricity, and meeting that demand with generators is unrealistic. Considering the price of fuel, the electricity they produce is worth a fortune (c) Pedalyk
From Google Gemini AI: The term "Pedalyk" (Педалик) is a mocking, derogatory nickname used by critics and political opponents to refer to Vitali Klitschko, the prominent former professional boxer who transitioned into politics. The name functions as a sarcastic play on his first name (Vitalik) combined with the word "pedal," frequently used to poke fun at his cycling hobbies and municipal transit policies.
"It looks like all of Kyiv will be digging outdoor toilets now: no water, no heating, no electricity" (c) Pedalyk's deputy

I believe that when Kyiv and the regions of central Ukraine were wasting money on building shelters and stabilizing the power grid, they weren't seriously preparing for such attacks until relatively recently because they simply didn't believe Russia would resort to such a "shutdown of Ukraine" and, most importantly, would have sufficient resources for such a "shutdown."

And calls for an "energy ceasefire" didn't help. It's like with the 3rd line of Ukrainian Armed Forces fortifications behind Avdiivka in 2024, when it turned out that the money had been spent and there were no field fortifications, because few believed the Russian Armed Forces would push through the Avdiivka fortified area. And then the theft and embezzlement came to light. It's the same thing now.
