Ukraine has not yet issued a statement, but in recent weeks it has intensified strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, which it claims help finance and sustain Moscow’s war effort.

Russian forces launched deadly attacks across Ukraine over the past 24 hours, killing at least seven civilians and injuring 37, according to regional authorities. The strikes also damaged key energy infrastructure in Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts, threatening Ukraine’s winter preparedness.

The coming winter will be the most serious test for Ukraine's energy infrastructure due to ongoing Russian attacks on the country's energy facilities, News.Az reports citing Delfi .
