European Union warns Moscow as Russian drone strikes hit Kyiv

European Union officials warned Moscow over security threats following drone incidents in Germany, as Russian air raids targeted Kyiv after Zelensky's UN speech.
Russian forces executed overnight drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring a resident shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the United Nations General Assembly. During his speech, Zelensky described Russian President Vladimir Putin as "patient zero" of the conflict. The raids coincide with an announced campaign by Moscow to target Ukraine's power grid ahead of winter.
In response, Ukrainian strikes against Russian oil facilities have disrupted local fuel supplies, forcing Moscow to import petroleum products. Security concerns have also spread into Western Europe. Following the identification of two suspects linked to Moscow regarding explosive drone incidents in Leipzig, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated the bloc "will not tolerate attacks" on its soil and is ready to deploy defensive measures.
