何が起きたか
President Volodymyr Zelensky said on November 6 that Ukrainian intelligence had warned of a possible new large-scale Russian attack. According to him, Russia's likely targets include energy infrastructure, bridges across the Dnipro River and other civilian facilities. The Air Force and Armed Forces are preparing to respond, while the government is expanding repair teams, involving the military in restoration work and paying infrastructure-repair specialists an additional 30,000 hryvnias per month.
Ukraine is also seeking faster deliveries of Patriot interceptor missiles. Zelensky said the United States could provide particular assistance with these weapons and that countries in the NB8 format, which had been briefed on Ukraine's needs before winter, were expected to provide support. He also announced further long-range strikes on Russia and said diplomatic work with American, European and Russian counterparts was continuing.

Ukrainian reporting centred on the warning of another possible mass strike and the preparations of the Air Force and Armed Forces. It also highlighted the damage to energy infrastructure, electricity and water shortages in Kyiv, accelerated recovery efforts and requests for additional Patriot interceptors and energy equipment from partners.
海外メディアの見方
International coverage, represented by Kirill Budanov's CBS News interview, focused on Russia's objective of inflicting maximum damage on critical infrastructure. Budanov said this could fuel social discontent and street protests and pressure Ukraine to surrender national interests, while maintaining that the strategy would fail and Ukraine would survive the winter.
背景
Russia launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine during the night against November 3 using ballistic and winged missiles and drones, with the main impact directions in the Kyiv, Kharkiv, Vinnytsia and Dnipropetrovsk regions. Strikes on electricity generation and transmission infrastructure affected nine regions, and DTEK reported that generation had been halted at three of its thermal power plants. Many regions face schedules of two to four outage rounds, leaving more than 12 hours a day without electricity.
Ukrainian air defences shot down or suppressed 309 targets during the night against November 3, and Ukrainian aviation destroyed 62 Shahed-type attack drones from the evening of November 5 until Zelensky's address. Intelligence reported on October 28 that Russia had fitted Geran-4 drones with a new combat unit capable of striking power-line and bridge supports. Ukraine has also arranged energy equipment deliveries from Germany, Spain, Slovakia and other countries for repairs and reserves.
