Russia targets Ukrainian energy grid as von der Leyen warns against attacks on EU soil

Russian defense officials have announced a targeted campaign against Ukraine's energy grid following overnight drone strikes on Kyiv that injured one person. The strikes came shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the United Nations General Assembly, where he criticized Moscow's ongoing invasion.

Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone attacks against oil refineries inside Russia have continued to impact domestic fuel supplies. Amid growing security concerns across Europe, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that the European Union "will not tolerate attacks on EU soil" and stands ready to respond. Her warning followed German law enforcement identifying two Moscow-linked suspects in connection with explosive drones discovered in Leipzig.
