This messaging shift accompanies a broad military escalation involving ballistic missiles, jet-powered drones, and strikes across eastern, central, and western regions of Ukraine. The recent wave of bombardments hit 28 critical energy facilities, resulting in at least 550,000 households losing power overnight and leaving Kyiv dealing with casualties and infrastructure damage.
