A classified Russian document intercepted in Ukraine reveals an extensive plan to target civilian infrastructure this coming winter. According to the report, Russia plans to attack the power grid, water systems, and treatment facilities using up to 1,000 attack means, including ballistic missiles and smart glide bombs. The stated goal is to cut off the major cities of Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa from electricity, heat, and water supplies, reducing them by 90%. Ukrainian authorities have invested billions in restoration, but production capacity stands at about 15 gigawatts, and the Russian plan aims to destroy precisely this figure. Meanwhile, Latvia is dealing with an organized migration wave on its border with Belarus, attributed to Russian and Belarusian intelligence. Over 11,000 people have been denied entry this year. Latvia has launched Operation 'Werewolf' to recruit forces and secure the border, investing over a billion dollars. The upcoming Latvian parliamentary elections take place against this backdrop, with the Kremlin seeing an opportunity to destabilize the country.
