Russia Stockpiling Ballistic Missiles For Winter Strikes On Ukrainian Energy Sector — Bloomberg

Russia is reportedly stockpiling ballistic missiles ahead of potential winter strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, according to Bloomberg. This shift in military tactics, which has seen a reduction in missile use since August, may be due to Russia's preparation for a more aggressive campaign during the colder months.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian authorities are bracing for a challenging heating season. Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi revealed that the government is not counting on favorable weather conditions and is actively working to expand the network of resilience points across the country.

European allies are also stepping up their support for Ukraine in anticipation of possible attacks. Sources close to Bloomberg indicate that countries in the region are providing essential resources, such as spare parts for power plants and heating system equipment.

In the recent past, on a particular evening and overnight, Russian forces reportedly targeted ten regions of Ukraine. This escalation of hostilities comes as Russia continues to demonstrate readiness to expand the conflict. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reported on these strikes, highlighting the ongoing brutal nature of the war.
