Russia prepares new massive strike on energy and logistics infrastructure – Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that Russia is preparing a major assault on the nation, focusing on energy and logistics infrastructure. In an evening video address, Zelensky stated that the Russian attack is seen as an opportunity to exploit the world's attention being diverted by US elections, while Ukraine's situation - including air defense difficulties and a shortage of missiles for Patriot systems - is receiving less international concern.

Zelensky urged the world to send a message to Russia that terror is futile and that as long as the war continues, their oil reserves will be depleted, preventing them from conducting profitable business with other nations. Notably, Ukrainian forces have reportedly inflicted significant losses on the Russian military since the beginning of the conflict, capturing an additional 10.4 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory in October 2026 compared to Russian advances.
