Russia targets Ukrainian energy grid as drone strikes hit Kyiv

Moscow launched a campaign against Ukraine's energy grid, while EU leaders warned against foreign sabotage following drone incidents in Germany.
The Russian Defense Ministry has announced a new campaign targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The strategy coincides with a fresh wave of overnight Russian drone attacks on Kyiv that injured a civilian following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly.
Simultaneously, intensified Ukrainian air strikes on Russian oil refineries have disrupted Moscow's domestic fuel supply, forcing it to import petroleum products.
In Europe, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the European Union will not tolerate attacks on its soil. The warning follows the identification of two suspects linked to Moscow in connection with explosive drone incidents in Leipzig, Germany.
