Leaked Russian document outlines three-stage plan to cripple Ukraine's energy system this winter
The New York Times published a Russian-language document dated August describing a three-stage Russian plan to systematically destroy Ukraine's energy and water infrastructure with up to 1,000 missiles, drones and bombs, targeting Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa. Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal had presented the document to European partners in Paris two weeks earlier. The NYT said it could not independently verify the document's authenticity, and it remains unknown whether Russia will carry out the plan or whether it would succeed if attempted.
