The EU has warned Moscow following drone incidents in Germany, as Russian forces target Kyiv's energy grid and Ukraine strikes Russian petroleum refineries.

Russian forces have mounted fresh drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address at the United Nations General Assembly. Concurrently, the Russian Defense Ministry announced a concerted campaign aimed at destroying Ukraine's energy infrastructure ahead of winter.

In response to ongoing hostilities, Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian oil refineries have disrupted domestic fuel supplies, forcing Moscow to import petroleum products. Meanwhile, European Union leadership has heightened its stance regarding Russian sabotage efforts within member states. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that the bloc "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and remains "ready to respond." Her comments follow a German investigation into explosive drones discovered in Leipzig, which identified two suspects with direct links to Moscow.
