    Moscow has intact power infrastructure. To a certain extent, it might be possible to compensate for fuel shortages by use of EVs


    like, bring in electric busses, EVs, battery-powered scooters, ebikes.

    It looks like virtually all of the power generation infrastructure in the Moscow area is natural gas, other than one coal plant, CHP-22.

    I kind of wonder how vulnerable the natural gas transmission pipeline network that reaches those plants is to sufficiently-accurate long-range missiles or truck bombs.

    EDIT: Actually, according to the above wiki link, CHP-22 may not be able to use coal any more:

    According to its operator Mosenergo, the plant in 1998 was powered by natural gas (85.6%), coal (14.2%), and fuel oil (0.2%).[38][39] According to company reports, the plant currently runs on gas with coal being used as reserve fuel.[26] In 2018 it was reported that the plant would stop burning coal at an unspecified time in the future.[40] In December 2020 and April 2021, the company again mentioned their intention to switch the power plant to operate on fuel oil as the reserve fuel instead of coal.[26][41] The transition to gas- and fuel-oil-fired operation will be completed by 2027, including the retirement of the remaining pulverized-coal boilers, dismantling of ash disposal facilities, and site remediation.[37]

    I don't wanna be shitty but like, if I suddenly couldn't buy gas in my country because my country did a shitty thing it wouldn't make me happy either. There's very little i can do about my country's objectionable actions besides protest (for now, and there are even now certain risks).
