Russia might not be fascist in the most exact technical political sense, but it's an autocratic government that is currently launching missiles at the civilian infrastructure of another country to directly and indirectly harm civilians.

Disrupting the energy balancing will have direct consequences for Ukrainian armed forces as they use rail for shipping ammo, weapons and personnel.
