Russia launched a campaign against Ukraine's energy grid, while Ukrainian strikes forced Moscow to import fuel and the EU warned against security threats on its territory.

Russian forces have launched a renewed campaign targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure, continuing persistent overnight drone strikes against Kyiv. In turn, Ukrainian aerial attacks against Russian petroleum facilities have intensified, disrupting local fuel supplies and forcing Moscow to purchase fuel from foreign markets.

Concurrently, European Union officials underscored security concerns across the continent. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that the bloc would not tolerate attacks on its territory, following the identification by German authorities of two suspects linked to Moscow over explosive drone incidents near Leipzig.
