Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warns that Russia is preparing further missile strikes targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and bridges across the Dnipro River. He frames the threat as part of an ongoing campaign against critical systems, warning that Ukraine is heading into another difficult winter as attacks continue.
In public statements, Zelensky urges international partners not to delay deliveries of Patriot air-defence interceptors and calls on residents to follow air-raid alerts. He also reiterates that Ukraine would respond to attacks by striking back at Russian oil refineries. At the same time, outlets describe renewed diplomatic efforts tied to possible de-escalation, while Zelensky accuses Moscow of refusing steps to reduce hostilities.
Different outlets vary in emphasis: some focus more generally on the winter outlook and ongoing energy attacks, while others highlight specific targets—such as bridges and the energy grid—and the details of Ukraine’s intelligence assessments and defence preparations.
