Kyiv intercepts Moscow winter plan targeting Ukrainian nuclear plants, water

An intercepted document, reported by The New York Times, indicates Russia plans winter attacks to disconnect three Ukrainian nuclear power plants from the grid and cut water supplies. The authenticity and operational details remain unverified, but the plan signals a deliberate escalation targeting critical civilian infrastructure. This follows a pattern of previous Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy grid, yet the explicit targeting of nuclear plants marks a potential first and raises nuclear safety concerns.
