Quote: "Russians should not try to destroy the Ukrainian energy system. Let me explain why.

Peskov, Prigozhin, Kiriyenko and other heavyweights of the Kremlin regime have only one option to spend the rest of their lives in safety, namely, to seize the opportunities of the Ukrainian penitentiary system, which will gladly welcome them and is looking forward to meeting them.

They should handle the issue of Ukrainian energy in advance so that there is heat and light in their future prison cells. I highly recommend that they study the instructions provided by the Hochu Zhyty (I Want to Live) project [the project aimed at helping Russian military personnel surrender into captivity]."

Background: 

  • The Kremlin has stated that the power outages and heating supply trouble in many Ukrainian oblasts were the "consequences of actions of the Kyiv regime, which refuses to negotiate". 
  • In a speech before the Group of Twenty, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented his country’s plan to achieve peace with Russia, which include 10 points. "Russia says it ostensibly wants to end the war; let it prove it with actions", the head of the state said.  
  • In return, on 15 November, Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure – the largest one since the beginning of full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. 
  • The Ukrainian government has repeatedly stated the transition to diplomatic negotiations was only possible after withdrawal of Russian troops behind the borders of Ukraine as of 1991. 
  • Russian Foreign Ministry claimed that the Russian Federation did not "accept any preconditions for the start of negotiations about Ukraine", including the one about the withdrawal of Russian forces from its territory.
