Russia's Defense Ministry reported on Saturday that Ukrainian forces conducted 10 attacks on its energy facilities within a 24-hour period, escalating tensions in the ongoing conflict. The ministry's daily update did not specify the locations or extent of the damage, but the claim highlights heightened concerns over critical infrastructure vulnerabilities.
Ukrainian officials have not yet responded to the allegations. Observers note that targeting energy infrastructure could signal a strategic shift in the conflict, with potential ripple effects for global energy markets and regional stability in Eastern Europe and Asia.
The development comes amid growing international scrutiny of the war's economic impact, particularly for Asian economies reliant on energy imports. Analysts warn that prolonged disruptions could exacerbate inflationary pressures and reshape trade dynamics across the continent.
