1. obtaining, provisioning, and/or installing the product, and
2. also configuring, integrating, operating, maintaining, updating, reconfiguring, adapting, documenting, training, funding (the cost in time and money) ... and retiring (and replacing) it in a timely fashion.
President #Zelenskyy:
💬 " #Ukraine has never been and will never be a stumbling block to peace. It is russian missiles, russian 'Shaheds,' and russia's attempts to destroy Ukraine that are clear evidence that it is not agreements at all that russia is seeking.
When Ukrainians are left without power for 20–30 hours because of russia, and when russian strikes are aimed at breaking our energy system and our people, it is russia that must be put under pressure."

This is what russia has chosen to weaponise. Not just missiles and drones, but cold too. Darkness. Sleeplessness. Exhaustion.
russia deliberately targets the conditions that keep civilians alive.
It strikes energy systems to leave homes freezing cold, and launches night-time attacks to deny sleep.
Nothing is off-limits for russia if it helps terrorise, break, and kill Ukrainians. And the longer this strategy is allowed to continue, the more lives it will cost.
