Russia keeps using long-range missiles and Iranian-made kamikaze drones to target the energy system in Ukraine. Each Russian attack on critical civilian infrastructure causes severe damage to the energy system of Ukraine, cutting millions of people off from electricity, heating, and water supply during the cold winter.
