The decision on possible attacks on Ukraine’s energy facilities in the winter will depend on the needs of the Russian Armed Forces, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. This is reported by Interfax.

“I can’t say what the winter will be like. It depends on the needs of our army. They will make a decision,” Peskov said, responding to a question about possible attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

He also explained that the Russian military had never previously planned to carry out such attacks for humanitarian reasons.

Peskov also answered reporters’ questions about whether anything had changed after the attacks on the Kursk region.

“Of course, in this case we are talking about encroachment on the territory of the Russian Federation. Here I do not distinguish between the economic zone of the Russian Federation and new territories, as is sometimes said in the media; we must protect it,” he emphasized.
