His take is that there is no settlement in sight or under discussion and that both sides have upped their aims, so the prospect is for further escalation, with no obvious stopping point.
He sees the destruction of the Ukraine power grid as a likely first step..
The thing with that is Ukraine may well have the weaponry on the way to retaliate and to hit Moscow.

I notice we haven't had any images of the Kherson bridge damage, it appears Russia has stopped sending out damage assessments for the west to assess.
