EU warns against attacks on European soil as Russia targets Ukrainian energy grid

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the European Union will not tolerate attacks on its soil, following the identification in Leipzig of two suspects with alleged ties to Moscow involved with explosive drones. Her statement comes amid escalating military actions between Russia and Ukraine. Russia's Defense Ministry announced a new campaign targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure, prompting subsequent overnight drone strikes across Kyiv that wounded at least one resident. The aerial bombardment follows increased Ukrainian long-range strikes against Russian oil facilities, which have created regional fuel shortages. These developments also coincided with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressing the United Nations General Assembly, where he characterized Russian President Vladimir Putin as "patient zero" responsible for initiating the war.
