Russia Strikes Ukraine’s Energy Grid Amid Fears of US Missile Support

 

Russia launched another wave of drone and missile strikes on Ukraine’s power infrastructure, intensifying its campaign to cripple the country’s energy supply ahead of winter. The overnight assault left parts of Kyiv and several regions in darkness, with emergency crews racing to restore electricity to thousands of homes.

The attacks come as Moscow voices alarm over the potential delivery of US long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, which Russian President Vladimir Putin warned would mark a “new level of escalation” in the conflict.
