Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to intensify attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. According to the Kyiv Post, Putin described the planned strikes as a response to recent Ukrainian operations on Russian territory. The threat comes amid ongoing fighting and mutual attacks.

Putin claimed that Russian infrastructure is recovering quickly from Ukrainian strikes. The intensified attacks on Ukraine, he said, are meant to deter further Ukrainian operations. The Kremlin chief’s statements are part of an escalation rhetoric in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.

Ukraine has been defending itself against the Russian invasion since February 2022. Russia has repeatedly targeted Ukraine’s energy and supply infrastructure, causing widespread blackouts and humanitarian crises. Putin’s latest threat suggests a continuation of this tactic.
