Ukraine Has Obtained Detailed Russian Plans for Winter Strikes, Energy Minister Says
Ukraine has obtained detailed Russian plans for winter strikes on energy, heating and water infrastructure, while more than 200 protective structures have been built around priority targets.
Ukraine has acquired detailed Russian plans for winter strikes on its energy infrastructure, according to First Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal. The intelligence comes from two extensive Russian documents, outlining attacks on electricity generation, heating, water supply, sewage systems, and other critical energy infrastructure.
The weapons needed to destroy each facility include ballistic missiles, jet-powered, and conventional drones. This development follows Russia's intensification of attacks on Ukraine's energy and civilian infrastructure ahead of the heating season. President Zelensky has called for stronger pressure on Russia and additional ballistic missile interceptors and sanctions against Moscow and its supporters.
Ukraine has constructed over 200 protective structures around priority targets and is building equipment reserves for rapid repairs. Over 40 countries have joined the Energy Ramstein initiative, raising more than $2.1 billion for the Ukraine Energy Support Fund. Despite the challenges, Ukraine's preparations indicate that this winter should not be more difficult than the previous one.
