EU issues warning to Moscow as Russia launches new strikes on Ukrainian energy

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that the European Union "will not tolerate attacks" on its territory after authorities identified two suspects with ties to Moscow regarding explosive drones discovered in Leipzig. The warning comes amidst heightened conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with Moscow announcing a renewed campaign targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

In response to sustained Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian petroleum facilities—which have disrupted domestic supplies and forced Moscow to import fuel—Russian forces launched fresh drone raids on Kyiv. Local officials reported that at least one civilian was injured during the overnight attacks on the capital. The military escalation follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly, in which he described Russian President Vladimir Putin as "patient zero" of the war.
