Zelenskyy warns of further Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure

Situation Overview

On 6 November, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that further Russian strikes could target Ukraine’s energy sector and civilian infrastructure. The warning followed Russian strikes in the Kyiv region that injured five people and damaged a bridge and energy facilities, according to reports published on 7 November. Zelenskyy renewed his call for deliveries of Patriot interceptor missiles as the Kyiv region faced disruption to water and heating services. The reported damage to energy and water-related infrastructure underscores the focus of the strikes on civilian systems in and around Kyiv. No specific scheduled follow-up actions were reported in the cluster beyond Zelenskyy’s renewed request for Patriot interceptor missile deliveries.
