Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Today, I met with UN High Commissioner for Refugees Barham Salih.

As Russia keeps striking Ukraine's energy system ahead of winter, I reiterated my request to UN agencies to prioritise restoring energy and heating in their life-saving aid.

Russia is also attacking humanitarian operations, including UN convoys and the warehouses of UNHCR, WFP and WHO. I urge the UN to use every mechanism to stop this terror and hold Russia accountable.

Only a sustainable ceasefire can truly protect civilians and humanitarian workers. Pressure on Russia must grow to achieve it.

Grateful to UNHCR for its support for Ukrainians and for helping our consular service".
