European Union warns Russia over covert operations as strikes target Kyiv and Russian energy sites

Russian forces launched fresh overnight drone strikes on Kyiv, injuring at least one person as Moscow escalates its declared campaign against Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The strikes followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly, where he described Russian President Vladimir Putin as "the patient zero who wanted the war."

Concurrently, Ukrainian aerial attacks against Russian petroleum facilities have disrupted domestic supplies, forcing Moscow to import fuel from abroad.

In Germany, investigators identified two suspects linked to Moscow regarding explosive drones discovered in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen responded firmly, stating that the bloc will not tolerate "attacks on EU soil" and remains prepared to counter covert hostile operations.
