For the third winter, authorities are warning that this one will be the most challenging. For the third year, we have been hearing that the main goal for Russians at the home front is to disrupt the energy sector. How did it come to this? How is it possible that for the third year, schoolchildren in the capital are studying with flashlights, often writing nothing at all, just listening because it’s too dark?
These are the same children who endured remote learning, who cannot sleep at night due to shelling, and who spend half their days in basements due to alarms. These are the children whose parents did not send them to study in free Western schools, believing in their future here. And, in fact, they are the ones for whom this war is being fought because once they are gone, the front will no longer matter. There are no words, no emotions. Buy generators for the children. If you can’t, then find a way, calculate, and tell parents to chip in because this has simply become too much.
