Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "I met with Tom Fletcher, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator to brief him on the situation in Ukraine, Russia's brutal strikes on civilians, and our peace efforts.

Russia is deliberately targeting Ukraine's energy grid, power generation, heating, logistics, and food infrastructure. With winter approaching, Putin is trying to deprive millions of households of electricity, heating and water.

I proposed that UN agencies make restoring the grid and heating a priority in their life-saving programmes.

We welcome the successful humanitarian mission in Oleshky carried out with the engagement of First Lady Melania Trump. This mission shows that confidence-building measures are possible when there is a will.

We also discussed Russia's attacks on freedom of navigation in the Black Sea, which threaten food security far beyond Europe.

I thanked the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and OCHA Ukraine for their important work on the ground and urged continued and increased support for the most vulnerable".
