One week. That is all the president of the United States asked for. Seven days of reprieve for a city of millions, while temperatures in Ukraine fall to levels at which power outages are not abstract, but life-threatening. Donald Trump said in the cabinet meeting that he had personally asked Vladimir Putin not to attack Kyiv and other cities for a week. Because of the extreme cold. Putin had agreed, Trump said. There is no confirmation from the Kremlin. The moment this statement is made is not a diplomatic footnote, but a magnifying glass on the state of this war and on the logic by which it is now being negotiated. For months, Russia has deliberately targeted Ukraine\u2019s civilian infrastructure. Power, water, heating. The strategy is openly stated: turning winter into a weapon. Ukrainian authorities speak of the systematic use of cold, darkness and exhaustion to break the resistance of the civilian population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
