Russia says preparing ‘massive strikes’ on Ukraine’s energy sector
Russia repeatedly struck Ukraine’s power plants last winter, crippling its energy sector and leaving millions without heat and electricity.
Russian defence ministry officials have announced plans for significant strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, as a response to attacks on Russian civilian and energy targets. This escalation comes after months of increasingly aggressive long-range strikes, which have targeted a range of Ukrainian infrastructure, including warehouses, businesses, oil facilities, and ships.
The most recent incident involved a Russian strike on an ammunition depot near Kyiv, causing a large explosion and resulting in at least 37 deaths. In retaliation, Ukraine launched an attack on an oil refinery in northwestern Russia using drones, leading to a fire.
