Russia says it is preparing major strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure

Russia's Defense Ministry said it is preparing major strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, following a deadly attack near Kyiv that Ukrainian officials say killed 38 people and left four missing. According to the ministry's Telegram post, the planned attacks are being framed as a response to Ukraine's continued strikes on Russian energy sites. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the warehouse strike in the Bucha district was the deadliest Russian attack in the country this year. The report adds to concerns that Ukraine could face another difficult winter, especially as officials warn of shortages in airdefense equipment and renewed pressure on the power grid.
