Russia's Defense Ministry reported Saturday that Ukrainian forces attacked Russian energy facilities 10 times within 24 hours, escalating tensions in the ongoing conflict. Ukraine has yet to respond to the claims.
The strikes, if confirmed, mark a significant escalation in targeting critical infrastructure—a move analysts say could signal a new phase in the grinding war.
Why it matters: Energy facilities are key to Russia's economy and military operations. Targeting them could disrupt supply chains and amplify domestic pressure on Moscow.
What's next? While neither side shows signs of backing down, global markets are watching closely. Oil prices may swing as investors assess risks to energy supplies.
