Ukrainian grid collapse under sustained strikes.

// The hypothesis

Continued strikes on Ukrainian generation and transmission overwhelm repair capacity, collapsing the grid below the threshold needed to sustain industry and grain logistics.

Ukraine + Moldova · power + grain logistics

// Modelled impact

Prolonged nationwide outages halt rail-based grain exports and heavy industry; Moldova, dependent on the shared grid, is pulled into emergency rationing.
