Russia targets Ukrainian energy grid as EU warns against foreign interference

Russian forces launched fresh drone strikes against Kyiv, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the United Nations General Assembly, where he referred to Russian President Vladimir Putin as "patient zero who wanted the war." The Russian Defense Ministry announced an intensified campaign specifically targeting Ukraine's energy grid. In response, Ukrainian drone strikes against Russian oil facilities have caused fuel shortages, forcing Moscow to import petrol from foreign suppliers.

Concurrently, European security officials escalated concerns after German authorities identified two suspects with ties to Moscow regarding recent explosive drone incidents in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a stern warning against foreign interference, stating, "We do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
