Russia targets Ukraine's energy grid as EU warns against hybrid threats

Russian forces launched fresh drone strikes targeting Kyiv, injuring at least one person as Moscow confirmed an intensified campaign to dismantle Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The attacks follow Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly, in which he accused Russian leadership of initiating the conflict. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone raids on Russian oil refineries have disrupted domestic fuel supplies, compelling Moscow to source petrol internationally.

In response to related security concerns within Europe, German authorities identified two suspects tied to Moscow over recent explosive drone incidents in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a stern warning regarding foreign interference, stating, "We do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
