lucy, thank you for asking that question.raine asking people that question and asking energy experts what is the winter going to be like. the answer i got was not very reassuring. it's going to be the hardest winter that ukrainians have faced. the grid is very fragile, and people don't know how bad it's going to be. it depends on how hard the grid is hit, where it's hit, and also the temperatures. but ukrainians themselves do have plans a, b and c in place. they've been through these hard winters before, but it is going to be difficult. but the ukrainians will get through it, and volodymyr zelensky will continue to ask for those long—range weapons. he's someone who's incredibly persistent. if he doesn't get what he wants this time, he's going to ask again next week and the week after. and i see pressure mounting in europe and also on capitol hill, so i think it's sort of inevitable. when you're there, their resilience is absolutely extraordinary, the ukrainians. but how did you find morale, given they know what is coming up?
