European Commission warns Moscow following sabotage probe and renewed strikes on Kyiv

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a firm warning following drone incidents in Germany and fresh Russian strikes on Kyiv.
Russian forces launched new drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring at least one person, following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly. Moscow's defense officials confirmed an ongoing offensive directed at Ukraine's energy grid ahead of winter. In response, Ukrainian drone strikes targeting Russian oil refineries have disrupted fuel production, compelling Moscow to procure petroleum products abroad.
Meanwhile, security concerns within the European Union heightened after German investigators linked two suspects associated with Moscow to explosive drone incidents near Leipzig. Addressing the alleged sabotage, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated, "We do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
