Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv is preparing for the possibility of further Russian escalation after an overnight wave of missiles and drones hit targets across the country. The attacks again put pressure on Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure, including the energy system.

According to the Reuters report, Russian forces launched the barrage during the night, adding to the strain on cities already coping with repeated strikes on power and other critical facilities. Officials in Kyiv have warned for months that Moscow may intensify attacks as the war continues.

Zelenskyy’s remarks reflect growing concern that Russia could expand its campaign against infrastructure and civilian life. The latest strikes underscore the continuing human and economic cost of the war, especially for ordinary Ukrainians trying to keep homes, hospitals and public services running.

Ukraine is now weighing additional defensive measures as it faces another period of heightened risk. The situation remains fluid, with the government urging residents to stay alert while emergency crews assess the damage.
