Zelenskyy warns of Russian attack on Ukraine's energy grid before winter

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russia is planning a massive attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, timed to coincide with the US congressional elections when global attention is diverted. Ukrainian intelligence indicates Russia intends to strike energy and logistics targets, with Moscow betting the world will barely notice. Zelenskyy urged more international pressure on Russia, including continued attacks on its oil industry, saying America can force an end to the war. Russia has repeatedly targeted Ukraine's power grid to demoralize the population before winter. Ukraine lacks Patriot interceptor missiles to defend against ballistic attacks, and supplies are scarce globally due to increased demand, including from the Iran conflict.
