Russian forces have sustained a campaign of long-range ballistic missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and the Kyiv region in early November 2026, including a November 6–7 barrage of 36 ballistic missiles that damaged substations linking nuclear plants to the capital, the Northern Bridge across the Dnipro, and facilities in multiple oblasts. Additional strikes on November 9–10 targeted electrical substations across ten regions, causing outages in Kyiv and elsewhere as winter heating demands rise. These actions coincide with the opening of U.S.-brokered trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10–11, where Russian officials have signaled resistance to an immediate ceasefire. Trader assessments of near-term strike likelihood reflect this pattern of infrastructure targeting amid strained Ukrainian air defenses and ongoing negotiations over security arrangements.
