Ukraine braces as Zelensky warns of new massive Russian attacks amid energy crisis

President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine’s intelligence assesses Russia is preparing a new wave of large-scale attacks as Kyiv endures a deepening energy crisis from strikes on the power grid. He urged allies to accelerate air-defense systems and missiles, warning that supplies are insufficient. The warning comes as Ukraine reports sustained damage to energy infrastructure since October 2025, leaving millions cold and without reliable heat or electricity, and he called for renewed international pressure on Moscow to end the war.
