Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv will escalate attacks on Russian oil refineries.
The move responds to Moscow's expanded strikes on civilian infrastructure and urban centers, he announced on Saturday.
Intelligence documents showed Russian leader Vladimir Putin authorized wider strikes on roads, logistics, power grids, schools, and hospitals ahead of winter.
Zelenskyy said the goal is to pressure people to leave the capital and other cities.
"We saw documents and we know that they allow them to attack infrastructure ... logistics ...
roads, schools, hospitals, to pressure people to leave the capital, leave different cities," he said.
In Kyiv, a Russian Shahed drone struck the North Bridge on Saturday morning.
Overnight strikes targeted residential areas, energy assets, and a ship in Chornomorsk.
Ukrainian long-range strikes hit Russian military positions in the Samara region and Iskander missile sites in the Bryansk region.
Counteroffensive and New Weapons
Ukrainian troops have reclaimed roughly 140 square kilometers in the eastern Donbas region through a counteroffensive code-named Vivaldi.
The operation defies Moscow's demand for total control of the territory as a peace prerequisite.
"We have to respond in any way (we can). With their attacks on our energy, we have to respond on their energy.
First of all, oil refiners: what gives money to them for this war," Zelenskyy said.
Russian strikes have increasingly focused on the capital's energy infrastructure and bridges over the Dnipro River.
Ukrainian air defenses rely heavily on fighter aircraft to shoot down jet-powered drones while awaiting short-range missile shipments and scaling up domestic interceptor drones.
"But we will not respond, of course, just like them, on any civilian objects," Zelenskyy said.
Washington has proposed trilateral technical talks in the UAE and urged Kyiv to spare energy sites.
Zelenskyy warned against normalizing diplomatic relations with Moscow at the upcoming G20 summit in Miami without a verified peace agreement.
"It's not fair just to normalize," he said.
Kyiv also reported the first operational deployment of its domestic FP-7 ballistic missile, which has a 250-kilometer range.
Development continues on the longer-range FP-9 missile capable of reaching Moscow.
"I said to them, 'Where is my FP-9?'" Zelenskyy said.
"We need the FP-9. And the FP-9 will be (ready) this autumn, I'm sure," he said.
Ukrainian defense officials confirmed funding was secured during meetings in Brussels to order additional strike and interceptor drones required to sustain military operations into early 2027.
