Russia’s Winter Blockade Or: How to Play Energy Jenga in Odesa
In a move clearly inspired by the ‘Let’s Freeze Ukrainians 101’ textbook, Vladimir Putin’s latest Russian drone attack on October 9, 2025, hit Odesa’s port and plunged 30,000 residents into unwanted darkness and an impromptu Cold War sequel. Ukrainian firefighters, probably thinking they signed up for simple emergencies, are now starring in their own episode of ‘Burning Shipping Containers: The Unsung Heroes.’ President Zelenskyy summed it up with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, accusing Russia of recycling tactics from previous winters like a bad sequel nobody asked for, designed to create chaos and shiver-inducing headaches.
