Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha held a meeting with UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher.

Sybiga noted that Russia is deliberately targeting Ukraine’s energy system, electricity generation facilities, heat supply infrastructure, and logistics and food infrastructure, the ministry’s press service reported.

“I proposed that UN agencies designate the restoration of the energy system and heat supply as one of the priorities of their vital humanitarian programmes,” the foreign minister stressed.

The officials also discussed Russia’s actions that restrict freedom of navigation in the Black Sea.
