Moscow threatens to “freeze” Ukrainians this winter, Kyiv vows equal response
The Russian Ministry of Defense published an image on August 14 showing three attack drones with the caption, “You’ll be frozen this winter,” prompting Ukrainian disinformation chief Andriy Kovalenko to vow that Kyiv will respond in kind.
On August 14, the Russian Ministry of Defense shared a photo of three attack drones, warning Ukrainians that they would "be frozen this winter." The Ukrainian disinformation chief, Andriy Kovalenko, responded by stating that the Russian Ministry of Defense was essentially threatening to disrupt Ukrainian heat and electricity supplies during the upcoming winter.
Kovalenko argued that the Russian people would suffer from these infrastructure losses due to their own defense ministry's actions. He emphasized that "the mirror always works," reminding Russians that they would reap what they sow. Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal expressed hope that the war would conclude in the autumn through strikes on Russian territory and Western sanctions.
He warned that if not, Russia would target Ukraine's energy infrastructure again during the winter, aiming to destroy the water supply before the colder months. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggested that Ukraine could survive the winter if the U.S. transfers 5% of its Patriot missile stockpile.
