Ukraine has been targeting Russian vital oil and gas infrastructure for months. However, these strikes have only intensified as Ukrainian efforts to bring the war home to Moscow have intensified. Attacks are launched every day,

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha said at the start of a meeting on Ukraine and defense cooperation that Kyiv needs to overcome what will be a “very difficult, very tough winter.”

In all, 25 locations across Ukraine, including the capital city Kyiv, were hit, leaving many areas without electricity and heating. Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said on Telegram that major energy facilities were damaged in the Poltava, Kharkiv and Kyiv regions, and work was under way to restore power.

At least two people have been killed in a drone attack in Ukraine’s Odesa region, according to Ukrainian authorities.

Ukraine's military said Russia had launched another two ballistic missiles at the country overnight into Sunday.

Moscow is attempting to break Ukraine’s will to fight with more frequent mass drone and missile attacks on its power sector. To counter this pressure, Kyiv needs to increase its attacks on Russia’s oil industry.

The Ukraine talks were part of the G7 meeting that Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand is hosting in southern Ontario as tensions rise between the U.S. and traditional allies such as Canada over defense spending, trade and uncertainty over Trump’s ceasefire plan in Gaza and his Russia-Ukraine peace efforts.
