With a missile attack on Ukraine on December 8, Russia allegedly began a series of attacks on energy infrastructure.
This version was put forward by the British Ministry of Defense intelligence on December 10.
Considering that the last time the Russian army fired 36 Kh-101/Kh-555/Kh-55 cruise missiles from Tu-95MS strategic aircraft was on September 21, British intelligence officers believe that the occupiers almost certainly used the pause in bomber strikes to accumulate missiles for winter shelling.
