Germany has pledged an additional 100 million euros in aid to help Ukraine prepare for a potential “winter war” with Russia. Ukrainian officials have raised concerns about potential power outages due to increased strikes on energy infrastructure. The country has managed to protect 85% of its energy facilities to prevent further attacks, but the extent of potential blackouts during the winter remains uncertain. The government has allocated significant funds for the protection of energy facilities, with additional support from foreign partners. This aid comes at a crucial time as Ukraine braces for potential challenges in the upcoming winter. It reflects Germany’s commitment to supporting Ukraine in the face of ongoing threats. The announcement was made by German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock during a visit to Moldova, underscoring the international community’s solidarity with Ukraine in the midst of geopolitical tensions.
