Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said his military will strike back if Russia renews attacks on energy infrastructure as the embattled nation braces for another season of missile barrages on its grid and power facilities.

“This year we will not only defend ourselves, but also respond,” Zelenskiy said in a statement on Telegram. He said Russia has moved its Black Sea fleet away from Crimea in anticipation and relocated aircraft farther away from Ukraine’s borders.
