Ukraine on the way to a hellish winter: the warning coming from Europe

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that Ukraine is suffering from a severe shortage of electricity and gas even before the peak of winter, and that Russian escalation in Europe is expected in the coming weeks. The warning came after a conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Tusk called for urgent security preparations, based on information from the intelligence services of Poland, Ukraine, and allied nations. He focused the warning on border crossings, railways, and infrastructure for transporting gas, oil, and food on the Ukrainian side, and warned of expanding sabotage attempts and provocations in Poland. Tusk opposed cuts to European defense spending, saying this is the worst time to save on Europe's security. He also discussed immigration issues, noting that about 20 countries support a more assertive approach.
