Russia may carry out four large combined attacks against Ukraine in September, according to sources cited by RBC-Ukraine. The reported plans involve missiles and strike drones used simultaneously, in addition to drone raids.
The sources fear that Russia could shift its focus to storage and logistics facilities in western Ukrainian regions after a series of strikes on such infrastructure in Kyiv and the surrounding region.
Energy infrastructure is another possible target. The sources expect Russia could begin mass attacks on the energy system as early as September or October, alongside strikes on warehouses. Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly announced such attacks on September 1, according to the report.
In recent days, Russian forces have attacked electricity-generation facilities and power-grid infrastructure in several regions, including Odesa region. Those strikes have not yet developed into a separate, large-scale campaign against Ukraineโs energy system.
