Russian strikes target Kyiv as EU warns Moscow over European sabotage incidents

Russian strikes targeted Kyiv while Moscow intensified attacks on Ukraine's energy grid, as the EU warned Russia over recent sabotage incidents in Germany.
Russian forces executed renewed drone attacks against Kyiv, injuring a resident following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address at the United Nations General Assembly, where he described Russian President Vladimir Putin as "patient zero who wanted the war." Moscow confirmed an intensified military campaign specifically aimed at destroying Ukraine's energy network. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone raids targeting Russian oil refineries have disrupted domestic fuel supplies, forcing Russia to import petrol from international sources.
Meanwhile, European security concerns escalated as German authorities identified two suspects linked to Moscow over recent explosive drone incidents in Leipzig. Reacting to foreign interference, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a firm warning, stating, "We do not tolerate attacks on EU soil, ready to respond."
