Ukraine warns of fresh Russian missile strikes
Energy grid target
Ukraine said on Monday that Russia was preparing for a fresh wave of missile attacks on its energy grid that have plunged swathes of the country into the cold and dark. A Ukraine military spokesman said a Russian warship capable of firing cruise missiles had recently deployed to the Black Sea with Kalibr-type missiles on board.“this indicates that preparations were underway,” said spokeswoman Natalia Gumeniuk. “It's quite likely that the beginning of the week will be marked by such an attack,” she added. With temperatures dipping below zero, repeated Russian attacks have left Ukraine's energy grid teetering on the brink of collapse.
