Zelenskyy’s Warning: Where Putin’s War Could Spread Next
Zelenskyy said Russia is trying to weaken Western support by widening strikes and hybrid pressure, with threats aimed at NATO states bordering Russia or Belarus.
- On October 2, The New York Times reported that Ukrainian Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal recently presented European partners in Paris with an intercepted Russian plan detailing an ambitious winter campaign to cripple Ukraine's power, heating, and water infrastructure.
- Proposals within the document involve forcing three operating nuclear power plants offline by striking grid connections, alongside a campaign of up to 1,000 missiles, drones, and bombs aimed at electrical substations.
- Russia identifies Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa as priority targets, with the plan aiming to cut electricity and heating supplies to these cities by 90 percent while severely disrupting sewage systems and pumping stations.
- Despite months of infrastructure strengthening, the threat looms as Russian President Vladimir Putin previously pledged an expanded campaign, recalling last winter’s strikes that left more than 1 million people without power.
- Estimates suggest the campaign could eliminate nearly 15 gigawatts of generating capacity, with The Economist reporting that the strikes are expected to peak in November and further strain the national energy grid.
