Russia Launches Large-Scale Attack on Ukraine's Energy Infrastructure

On the night of March 6-7, Russia launched a large-scale missile and drone assault on Ukraine, primarily targeting energy and gas infrastructure across several regions, including Kharkiv, Ternopil, Odesa, and Chernihiv. Ukraine's Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko reported significant damage to key facilities, with emergency teams working to stabilize electricity and gas supplies. In Ternopil, a critical industrial facility was struck, raising concerns over potential gas supply restrictions, although no casualties were reported. The Ukrainian Air Force confirmed the use of various missile types, including Kalibr cruise missiles and Shahed drones. In response, the Kremlin has ruled out any possibility of peace negotiations or concessions, with President Putin emphasizing that Russia will not cede any territory. The ongoing attacks reflect Russia's continued military strategy amid the conflict, with heightened warnings for civilians to remain in shelters due to the threat of future strikes.
