"Ukrainian officials have been warning for some time that Russia has been stockpiling cruise and ballistic missiles in order to mount coordinated attacks on power infrastructure throughout the winter"

This does not augur well for a secure and lasting peace.

I don't think Ukraine can fight the war with its arms tied. It should do likewise to Russian infrastructure.
