German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock has called on allies to help Ukraine create a “winter protective umbrella” ahead of possible Russian attacks on infrastructure.
This was reported by Handelsblatt.
According to her, this includes expanding air defense, supplying power generators, and strengthening energy supply in general.
– “Last winter, we saw how brutally the Russian president is waging this war, deliberately attacking power plants,” the minister said.
According to her, Vladimir Putin is counting on the fact that the water supply will also be destroyed at 20 degrees below zero.
– “We must prevent this as much as possible with everything we have,” Burbock emphasized.
Earlier, European Union Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell said that the bloc would increase military support for Ukraine.
