> Germany’s Berliner Zeitung reports that worsening energy shortages could make Ukraine’s major cities uninhabitable this winter. Power-generation capacity has fallen from 60 GW in 2022 to 12 GW, while the current 5–6 GW shortfall could double. Gas and coal reserves are also insufficient for the full winter demand.
