Thus, Ursula von der Leyen emphasized that the European Union wants, in particular, to "help" Kyiv survive the winter in terms of energy.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the Cabinet admits that this winter will be the hardest for Ukraine.

Russian occupiers seized 18 GW of Ukrainian generation.

Meanwhile, the mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for the first time visited an electrical substation in Ukraine, which is important for nuclear safety.
