Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha announced that Russia had launched overnight attacks on Ukraine using ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, targeting critical energy infrastructure.

In a social media post, Sybiha stated that Russia aims to deprive millions of Ukrainians of electricity, heating and water as winter approaches. The Foreign Minister said Russia was attempting to achieve through cold and darkness what it had failed to accomplish on the battlefield, adding that the attacks were intended to make civilian life unbearable for the Ukrainian people.

Sybiha emphasized that Ukraine and its partners have the necessary capabilities to stop Russian attacks, stating that Ukraine needs more air defense systems, interceptor missiles and the political will to ensure their delivery without delay.
