"Peace" by blackout: Russia's winter strategy explained - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD
Russia once again used the UN Security Council not as a stage for diplomacy, but for ultimatums.
Following a massive attack on Ukraine, Moscow delivered its message clearly: the war will continue until Ukraine accepts Russia's terms. At an emergency UN meeting requested by Ukraine, Russia's representative Vasily Nebenzya declared that so-called "peace" would only come if Kyiv agreed to what Moscow calls "realistic conditions." In plain terms, that means missile strikes, blackouts, and winter cold as negotiating tools.
Join Jonasz Rewiński in a new episode of Break The Fake to find out why winter energy strikes are central to Kremlin strategy and what Russia really meant by its UN ultimatum.
