UK energy grid “very vulnerable” to Russian attack this winter

Winter – as the period of maximum impact – would be the most obvious time for Russia to target the country’s infrastructure, Kevin Rowlands, the editor of the Royal United Services Institute’s journal, told Montel. “The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East have shown very clearly that energy infrastructure is an obvious target. [...] In and around the UK, our energy infrastructure, both carbon based and renewables, are very vulnerable, especially when they come from offshore sources,” he added.
