Russia intensifies strikes on Kyiv as EU warns against hybrid threats on its soil

Russian drone strikes targeted Kyiv again overnight, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly. Moscow's defense ministry subsequently announced an intensified campaign aimed at destroying Ukraine's power grid. In turn, recent Ukrainian drone raids against Russian oil refineries have disrupted domestic fuel availability, forcing Moscow to import petrol from foreign suppliers.

Concurrently, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the European Union "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" after German investigators linked two suspects to Moscow regarding explosive drone incidents near Leipzig. European officials are now evaluating coordinated responses to counter potential hybrid threats within member states.
