Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Russia has been striking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Analysts at the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) have predicted that Russia may intensify its attacks to degrade Ukraine’s energy infrastructure ahead of the coming winter.
In recent weeks, the Russian military has intensified its shelling of the Ukrainian energy and gas infrastructure, which supplies people with gas during the heating season.
