Ukraine faces unprepared winter as energy grid vulnerable to Russian strikes

As summer ends in Kyiv, residents enjoy the Dnipro despite drone interceptions overhead, but the government is reportedly unprepared for another harsh winter. The core claim is that Ukraine's energy infrastructure remains vulnerable to Russian attacks, with insufficient preparation for the coming season. This matters because a poorly prepared winter could exacerbate humanitarian conditions and strain the country's resilience, potentially affecting Western support and the broader conflict trajectory.
