Russia is preparing a series of combined attacks on Ukraine using missiles and drones in September. Warehouses in regions and energy facilities are under threat of new strikes. This is reported by own sources, according to РБК-Україна .

According to RBC-Ukraine sources, in September Moscow, in addition to drone raids, plans to carry out four massive combined attacks on Ukraine - with simultaneous use of various types of missiles and strike UAVs.

The publication's interlocutors fear that after a series of strikes on warehouse and logistics infrastructure in Kyiv and the region, the enemy may shift this emphasis to similar facilities in western regions of Ukraine.

Another direction may be energy.

According to RBC-Ukraine sources' forecast, already in September-October, in parallel with strikes on depots, Russia may begin massive attacks on the energy system.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin publicly announced such strikes on September 1.

In recent days, Russians attacked generation facilities and power grid infrastructure in several regions, including Odesa region. At the same time, these strikes have not yet acquired the character of a separate large-scale campaign against the Ukrainian energy system.

New wave of strikes on Kyiv

Recall, on September 4, Russian troops struck the SBU building in central Kyiv. As a result of the enemy attack, the office of the head of the Main Directorate of Counterintelligence Alexander Poklad was damaged, and people were injured.

In addition, the occupiers significantly changed the air attack tactics on the capital.

According to RBC-Ukraine sources, Russia massively uses new jet drones "Geran-4" and "Geran-5" and plans to bring their share in the shelling of Kyiv and the region to 80%.
