Ukraine’s Defence Ministry responds to Moscow’s “freeze” threats for winter

Ukraine’s Defence Ministry-linked military communications team responded to Russia’s threat to “freeze” Ukrainians this winter by promising it would “keep warm” using fires at Russian oil refineries. The exchange followed a Russian Defence Ministry post showing attack drones and warning that winter would bring a “freeze.” Ukraine’s message pointed to alleged damage and losses Russia is facing from Ukrainian strikes on its energy infrastructure, framing the reply as both a deterrent and a psychological counter to Moscow’s messaging.
