Russia attacked a gas plant in Odessa, affecting Ukraine's preparations for the winter season, President Zelenski said.

Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski has announced a Russian attack on a gas plant in the village of Novosilske, saying it was a deliberate action to weaken Ukraine's preparations for winter. The attack was also confirmed by the Russian Defense Ministry, and Ukraine is facing a serious gas shortage. Amid repeated attacks on energy infrastructure, Ukraine has started importing gas from Azerbaijan, seeing the trans-Balkan route as key to securing gas supplies.
