Ukraine needs €650 million to keep lights on this winter; without it, repairs stop

Ukraine is urgently seeking €650 million to maintain electricity supply during the winter. Without this funding, repair work would be halted. The country calls on international donors to replenish the fund before the Gdańsk recovery conference, as Russia prepares to resume attacks on energy infrastructure. The money is needed to keep lights and heat for millions of Ukrainians during the cold months. Kyiv hopes the conference will secure commitments before Russia relaunches its winter campaign against the power grid. Without the support, repairs will stop, leaving the nation vulnerable to blackouts and strikes.
