Ukraine is heading into what could be its toughest winter since Russia’s full-scale invasion, as Russian strikes intensify against cities and critical energy infrastructure. Attacks have caused power disruptions, while Kyiv says Russia has launched hundreds of drones. Moscow says Ukraine opened “Pandora’s box” with its strikes on Russian targets, while President Donald Trump has urged Zelensky to stop targeting Russian diesel infrastructure. Meanwhile, a suspected drone sighting briefly shut Vilnius Airport in Lithuania, raising fresh concerns over the war spilling into NATO territory.
