Stoltenberg: Russia trying to use as weapons the difficult winter Ukraine has ahead

The difficult winter weather he will use to attack the power grid so that there is power shortages across the country, which is necessary in Ukraine because temperatures are very low during this season.

Doing so when we enter winter shows that President (Vladimir) Putin is now trying to use... winter as a weapon of war against Ukraine,” he told reporters at a news conference in Bucharest before a two-day NATO meeting abroad.

This comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russia was planning new attacks on his country, urging defence forces and citizens to prepare for a new week of strain on the electricity network as temperatures drop.

We understand that terrorists are planning new attacks. We know this with a fact,” said Zelensky in his night speech with video Sunday.
