The electric war in the west by the Russian General Staff has been put on pause by President Vladimir Putin since the last major raid on August 26, while back-channel negotiators for the Kremlin exchanged armistice terms with the Biden Administration and with Donald Trump.

The resumption of Russian missile strikes on west Ukrainian electricity infrastructure follows the disclosure in Washington on Sunday that the US has agreed to allow American and Ukrainian crews to fire long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) on Russian territory.

Russian military sources comment that threats to escalate the war unless Putin agrees to extend the pause and to limit the westward offensive of Russian forces along the Donbass front have come from both Biden officials, and from Trump himself when he spoke with Putin by telephone last week.

“The electric war strikes are coordinated with the ground offensives,” a military source comments. “We’re seeing the General Staff calling the bluff of both Biden and Trump with the counter threat to wind up the war before the inauguration [January 20]. That the Ukrainians in the western regions are bracing for power blackouts tell us, again, that [Chief of the General Staff Valery] Gerasimov’s staff are monitoring the Ukrainian electrical repair and replacement efforts, the weather, and the political situation in Washington. The strikes have been timed accordingly.”
