Zelenskyy warns Russia could exploit US midterms to launch massive attack
- On Friday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that intelligence indicates Russia is preparing new attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure and bridges across the Dnipro River. He urged international partners to accelerate delivery of critical air defense systems.
- The warning follows a massive November 3 assault where Russia launched 289 attack drones, 17 ballistic missiles and 59 cruise missiles, primarily targeting energy infrastructure. The strikes killed at least 29 people and caused widespread outages across multiple regions.
- Zelenskyy requested more Patriot interceptors, noting Russia uses a 'small cuts' approach—repeated strikes forcing bridge inspections rather than outright destruction. The U.S. State Department approved a $2.1 billion sale of 500 Patriot PAC-3 missiles to Ukraine.
- U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff announced that American, Ukrainian, and Russian officials will meet in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11 to advance discussions on post-war security arrangements and de-escalation. The talks represent ongoing diplomatic efforts despite escalating hostilities.
- Zelenskyy previously noted that Moscow timed its massive November 3 assault to exploit global distraction during the U.S. midterm elections. Both nations have engaged in reciprocal cyberattacks, including interference with the Air Alert app and emergency warning systems.
