Russian Aerospace Forces executed a large-scale strike involving drones and missiles against Ukrainian power generation and transmission facilities on February 7, exacerbating damage from prior attacks and prompting nationwide emergency power restrictions. Ukrainian energy officials reported hits on multiple plants, while Zelenskyy urged accelerated Western air defense supplies. Lt. Gen. Vladimir Alexeyev, GRU deputy head, remains in critical condition after the February 6 Moscow shooting, with no suspect apprehended. North Korean contingents, numbering over 10,000 since late 2024, are actively shelling Ukrainian positions from Kursk and handling drones and demining.
These winter energy assaults intensify Ukrainian logistical burdens, risking industrial halts and civilian morale erosion without immediate mitigation. The US-imposed deadline pressures negotiations amid stalled ceasefire efforts and rejected security guarantees, potentially altering Russian calculus but heightening escalation risks if unmet. Regional spillover remains confined to Europe, with minimal global ripple beyond sanctions debates.
Likely Russian persistence in air campaigns targets sustained degradation; monitor Ukrainian interceptor efficacy and US aid flows. Intelligence gaps persist on North Korean casualty rates, Alexeyev prognosis, and precise strike damage assessments.
