Ukraine Urges US to Speed up Interceptor Deliveries as Russia Targets Power Grid
Sybiha said faster interceptor deliveries are needed as Russia intensifies strikes on Ukraine’s power grid, while U.S. intelligence sharing and aid remain in place.
- On Tuesday, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha urged U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Paris to accelerate interceptor deliveries as Russia ramps up attacks on energy infrastructure ahead of winter.
- Russia's attacks on civilian energy infrastructure aim to break Ukrainian morale during winter months. Residents in Kyiv, including Sybiha's three children, often have only a few hours of electricity daily.
- Sybiha confirmed U.S. intelligence sharing and military assistance through the Priority Ukraine Requirements List remain active. He requested to 'front-load' additional air-defense supplies to strengthen defenses.
- U.S.-Mediated talks between Ukrainian and Russian officials are underway in Abu Dhabi. Sybiha stated 'Ukraine has serious intentions' to pursue peace, though he remained 'not so optimistic' about Moscow's response on a Black Sea ceasefire.
- 'For domestic purposes, it keeps the spirit of our people strong when they understand that at least for one to two years we have long-term commitments,' Sybiha said. He expressed hope for extended financial backing as the war enters its fifth year.
