Zelenskyy warns Russia plans massive attack during US elections

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russia plans a massive attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure and logistics during the US congressional elections, fearing global attention will be diverted from the conflict. Zelenskyy stated on X that the world's focus on the US vote will overshadow Ukraine's struggles with air defense and Patriot missile shortages. He urged America to pressure Russia into ending the war, though the Trump administration recently eased some sanctions on Russia. Russia's strikes aim to cause power and heating outages to weaken Ukrainian morale before winter. Zelenskyy continues requesting more Patriot interceptors from Western allies, but supplies are strained globally due to the Iran conflict and production cannot keep pace with demand.
