Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukrainian intelligence has data indicating Russia is preparing a new massive strike across the country. According to RBC-Ukraine, he wrote about this in his Telegram channel. The head of state emphasized that the Air Forces and the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a whole are preparing for defense, noting that "it is not easy." The statement comes amid ongoing attacks on critical infrastructure facilities. ### Intelligence Reports Preparation for Strike According to Zelenskyy, intelligence specifically provided the data on the upcoming new strike. The primary source, RBC-Ukraine, indicates that the aggressor will continue attacks on bridges and the energy system. Thus, potential targets include both transport infrastructure and energy facilities, which aligns with previously recorded tactics of targeting critical objects. ### Focus on Energy and Logistics In a publication by the outlet "Slido Dila" (November 2, 2026), the formulation of targets is somewhat different: the president stated that intelligence records preparations for a strike "primarily on energy and logistics." In the same address, Zelenskyy linked the timing of the attack to his assessment that on Tuesday, November 3, global attention will be riveted on the US elections rather than on the aggression against Ukraine. He urged partners to send signals to Russia that terror against Ukraine brings it no benefit. ### Call to Partners for Air Defense Supplies Separately, Zelenskyy reported that Ukraine needs interceptor missiles for Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems. "Every agreement is important, every day in delivery is very important. And we strongly ask partners not to postpone deliveries for later," the president stated, appealing to allies. The appeal comes as Ukrainian forces are preparing to repel an air attack, according to him. ### Context: Consequences of Strikes on Populated Areas The same "Slido Dila" material mentions the context of recent attacks: the number of injured as a result of Russian guided bomb strikes on Izium has risen to 11 people, including a child, with one person killed and significant destruction recorded in the city. These data underscore why the Ukrainian side emphasizes strengthening air defense and accelerating the supply of interception means. ## Accounts differ ### List of targets for the impending strike - **RBC-Ukraine:** The aggressor will continue attacks on bridges and the energy system.
