Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that Russia is planning a massive strike on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, taking advantage of the world's attention on the US midterm elections.
What happened
Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine has intelligence suggesting Russia is preparing a new massive attack, primarily targeting energy and logistics. He believes Russia will exploit the elections to launch strikes while the world is distracted.
Russian forces recently struck a school in southeastern Ukraine, killing at least 26 people, including police officers and first responders. Zelenskyy has urged the US and its allies to warn Putin that continued attacks on Ukraine will bring serious economic consequences.
Zelenskyy also proposed a potential ceasefire, suggesting Ukraine would suspend strikes on Russian oil refineries for a month if the US provided Patriot missile interceptors during the same period.
