Russia prepares widespread strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure

Russia’s Ministry of Defence announced it is preparing large-scale strikes against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Moscow framed the impending operations as a direct response to continued Ukrainian attacks targeting civilian facilities inside Russian territory.

The announcement follows recent disclosures regarding ten secret military sites established by Moscow capable of deploying long-range kamikaze drones near NATO borders, some of which have already been utilized in air raids against Ukraine. Simultaneously, military activity in the region remains elevated following US-led NATO operations near Kaliningrad and Russian strikes on commercial cargo ships in the Black Sea. Ukrainian power facilities have previously suffered heavy damage during prior Russian bombing campaigns, renewing concerns over grid resilience.
