Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko confirmed rapid restoration efforts underway, while President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded escalated sanctions: “For every Moscow strike on energy infrastructure aimed at harming ordinary people before winter, there must be a sanctions response targeting all Russian energy—with no exceptions.”
Ukraine’s air force downed 406 drones and nine missiles, though 26 missiles and 52 drones struck 25 sites.
Moscow’s Defence Ministry described the barrage as a “massive strike with high-precision weapons” on Ukrainian arms production and energy sites, retaliating for Kyiv’s attacks on Russia.
