Russia targets Ukrainian energy grid as EU warns against hybrid attacks

Russian forces initiated fresh drone attacks against Kyiv following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to the UN General Assembly, in which he labeled Vladimir Putin "the zero patient who wanted the war". The strikes injured at least one civilian as Moscow announced a campaign targeting Ukraine's energy grid before winter. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries have disrupted local fuel supplies, compelling Moscow to import petrol.

Concurrently, European security concerns escalated after German authorities identified two suspects with ties to Moscow over explosive drones discovered near infrastructure in Leipzig. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that the European Union "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and warned of potential countermeasures.
