A "peace deal" might sound good. Stability, no more war... But what if that deal is just a trap?
What if forcing Ukraine into a ceasefire on bad terms doesn’t stop the war, but guarantees an even worse one?

Updated map of the regions of Russia where there are shortages of gasoline or diesel and how early was it first reported. As always it's worse in the occupied territories. Added just one region since the last update, Yaroslavl.

Map of Utilities outages in Russia for the week 27th of October to the 2nd of November. This year starts really strong with 250 outages reported in the last week of October vs 225 last year. More importantly this is the first year of outages due to drone attacks.
