Russia announces fresh campaign against Ukrainian energy grid

Russia's defense ministry has announced a targeted campaign aimed at destroying Ukraine's energy infrastructure, following persistent overnight drone attacks on Kyiv that wounded a civilian. The escalation comes shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the United Nations. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone strikes against Russian oil facilities have caused domestic fuel shortages, compelling Moscow to import petroleum products.

Concurrently, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that the European Union "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil," affirming the bloc's readiness to react. The warning follows German investigations into explosive drone incidents in Leipzig, where authorities identified two suspects linked to Moscow.
