Russia Plans Massive Strikes on Ukraine's Energy Sites Amid Conflict

Russia's Defense Ministry announced plans for 'massive strikes' on Ukraine's energy infrastructure following the deadliest Russian attack of the year, which killed 38 people. The attack on August 29 targeted an ammunition storage facility in the village of Myla, leading to multiple explosions and fires. In response to ongoing Ukrainian strikes against Russian energy sites, Russia aims to intensify its military efforts. This escalation raises concerns for markets about the potential impact of a sustained conflict on energy supplies and regional stability.
