Ukraine says Russia plans election-day attacks on energy and logistics

Ukrainian intelligence has uncovered Russian plans for massive attacks on Ukraine's energy and logistics infrastructure, timed to coincide with U.S. midterm elections, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Tuesday. Zelensky stated the attacks aim to exploit global attention on the elections, citing Ukraine's shortages of air defenses and Patriot missiles. He urged U.S. President Donald Trump to pressure Russia to end the war, noting reduced U.S. deliveries under Trump compared to his predecessor. The revelation follows failed U.S. efforts for an energy ceasefire, with Russia continuing strikes that killed dozens. Ukraine has also targeted Russian refineries, causing economic strain and frustration from Trump over global energy impacts.
