Ukraine will have enough energy resources to get through the coming winter, but an expected surge in Russian attacks may disrupt the supply networks, Ukraine's Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said late on November 11. Halushchenko told Ukrainian public television that "the question is how much future attacks can affect supplies." In the past few weeks, Russia attacked Ukrainian infrastructure 60 times, Kyiv said this week, raising concerns that Moscow may have already started to target the power grid for a second winter at war. Last winter, thousands of Russian drones and missiles hit power infrastructure, causing sweeping blackouts.
