    Russia Stockpiling Missiles for Winter Strikes on Ukraine's Energy Sector

    Russia is reportedly stockpiling ballistic missiles for winter strikes on Ukraine's energy sector, according to multiple sources including Bloomberg. The decrease in ballistic missile use since August and the increase in drone strikes suggest a deliberate buildup of high-precision weapons for mass use during the coldest months. European leaders plan to ask the U.S. for more Patriot missiles to intercept ballistic missiles during UN General Assembly meetings this week. Allies' assessments diverge, with some believing Ukraine can survive the winter without additional interceptors, while others fear severe consequences if there are new large-scale attacks on energy infrastructure.
