Russian Forces have deployed a new long-range cruise missile, the Kh-69, as part of their intensified attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported that these air-to-surface missiles are aimed at enhancing Russia's strike capabilities and overcoming Ukraine's weakened air defense systems.
Recent attacks by Russia on Ukraine's energy infrastructure have raised concerns, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasizing the urgent need for defense assistance. The destruction of the Trypillia Thermal Power Plant, a key energy supplier to Kyiv, by Kh-69 missiles further highlights the escalating conflict.
