I find it additionally odd that the author calls this era pre war. Ukraine is certainly at war right now with a very potent cyber state. Their infrastructure seems to hold up ok. It’s not perfect but definitely not doomsday like described in this article.

Tbf their infra holds up because their infrastructure workers put their lives on the line every single day repairing it under horrible conditions of shelling, etc.

On my most recent trip there - I was amazed at how despite being routinely hit by missiles, their train systems “on time” status is better than British or even German trains.

This is only possible because their railway workers have balls of steel and go out to repair damage fast, and sometimes get hit in follow up strikes.

Same with energy workers - they go out and repair stuff during air alarms, in the immediate aftermath of strikes they perform damage control and mitigations.

It's still a pre-war era for the Netherlands.
