根據俄羅斯媒體報導，頓河畔羅斯托夫市多個地區近期發生停電現象，主因是俄羅斯電力控股公司的高壓系統出現問題。當局表示將儘快解決問題，讓系統恢復正常。與此同時，莫斯科地區的最大電力公司Mosenergosbyt宣佈自1月14日至3月1日實施停電，每天停電時間最長不超過12小時。

西伯利亞諾沃西比爾斯克市的一條主要暖氣管道斷裂，導致超過100個家庭和12棟建築物的熱水和暖氣中斷。弗拉迪沃斯托克港市有3000人缺乏暖氣，納霍德卡市有6000人缺乏暖氣。其他城市，如葉卡捷琳堡、伏爾加格勒、薩拉托夫和彼爾姆，也出現類似的問題。近期，聖彼德堡的最大電商倉儲還發生電線走火事故，經濟損失難以估計。

專家指出，除電線和設備老舊長期未維修外，部分管線可能遭受到親烏人士或烏克蘭特工的破壞。

目前俄羅斯並未像烏克蘭一樣因戰爭而延後總統大選。2024年是普丁尋求的第五個任期連任。然而，最近的戰爭徵兵50萬人，前線士兵死傷慘重，再加上嚴重的民生問題，許多居民被迫在零下20度的寒冷中生活，還引發部分城市發生抗議活動。這無疑對普丁形成巨大的壓力，於是他近期也表示希望能盡快結束戰爭。

相較之下，烏克蘭目前的電力和暖氣供應相對穩定。這場戰爭不僅是軍事力量的較量，也是雙方人民意志的對抗。未來幾年內戰爭勢難分勝負，最終解決還需透過談判。這也考驗雙方領袖的智慧。

According to Russian media reports, multiple areas in Rostov-on-Don, along the Don River, have recently experienced power outages. The main cause is attributed to issues with the high-voltage system of the Russian power holding company. Authorities have stated that they are working to resolve the problem promptly to restore the normal functioning of the system. Simultaneously, Mosenergosbyt, the largest power company in the Moscow region, announced planned power outages from January 14th to March 1st, with a maximum daily outage duration of 12 hours.

In Novosibirsk, Siberia, a major heating pipeline rupture has disrupted hot water and heating for over 100 households and 12 buildings. Vladivostok port city has reported 3,000 people lacking heating, while Nakhodka city has 6,000 people facing a heating shortage. Similar issues have been reported in other cities such as Yekaterinburg, Volgograd, Saratov, and Perm. Additionally, a recent incident of electrical wiring catching fire in the largest e-commerce warehouse in St. Petersburg has resulted in difficult-to-estimate economic losses.

Experts indicate that, aside from aged and long-neglected equipment and wiring, some pipelines may have suffered damage from pro-Russian individuals or Ukrainian operatives.

Unlike Ukraine, Russia has not postponed its presidential election due to the ongoing war. The year 2024 marks Vladimir Putin's pursuit of a fifth consecutive term.

However, the recent conscription of 500,000 soldiers, severe casualties among frontline troops, and substantial civilian issues, including residents enduring life in sub-zero temperatures, have sparked protests in several cities. This undoubtedly puts immense pressure on Putin, prompting him to express a desire to end the war as soon as possible.

In contrast, Ukraine's current electricity and heating supply remains relatively stable. This conflict is not only a military confrontation but also a battle of wills between the people on both sides. The outcome of the war in the coming years is uncertain, and a final resolution will require negotiations, testing the wisdom of leaders on both sides.
