Russia has stepped up attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, targeting substations in Kyiv, Donetsk, Odesa and Chernihiv.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the strikes as a deliberate escalation of Russia’s aerial campaign, which has included more than 3,100 drones, 92 missiles and roughly 1,360 glide bombs in the past week. He also called for stricter sanctions on buyers of Russian oil, labelling them as financiers of the war.
The attacks come as Ukraine and the United States discuss the potential delivery of Tomahawk cruise missiles and ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles to strengthen Kyiv’s long-range strike capabilities. Zelenskyy stressed that a decision is pending, while the Kremlin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko have expressed concern over the possibility.
Experts warn that the strikes could further strain Ukraine’s energy system as the country heads into winter, potentially causing widespread power outages and affecting millions of residents. Ukrainian air defences have successfully intercepted most drones, but Russia continues to target critical infrastructure in a sustained effort to weaken public morale.
If the strikes continue, energy shortages could disrupt homes, hospitals and essential services, making international aid and additional military support increasingly vital. Ukraine’s leadership is expected to continue calling for sanctions and military assistance to protect civilians and maintain the nation’s energy resilience during the harsh winter months.
