German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has called on Ukraine's allies to support the expansion of air defense and strengthening of energy infrastructure before the onset of winter and possible Russian attacks on critical infrastructure. This was reported by Deutsche Welle.


At an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers in Kyiv, Baerbock emphasized the need to create a "winter protective umbrella" for Ukraine, including expanding the air defense system, providing power generators and strengthening energy supply in general.


She noted that Russia deliberately attacked power plants last winter and emphasized the importance of preventing similar situations in the future, especially in extreme cold.


"We must do everything we can to prevent this from happening again," Baerbock emphasized.
