Sybiha Urges UN to Prioritize Ukraine’s Power Grid as Zelensky Condemns ‘Unacceptable’ Blackouts
Verified: 2 outlets have reported this story since Nov 13, 2 of them from Ukraine.
Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha urged UN agencies to make restoring Ukraine’s power and heating infrastructure a priority in their life-saving programs, particularly as Russia intensifies strikes on the country’s power grid ahead of winter. The appeal came as President Volodymyr Zelensky called days-long outages in the Kyiv region cities of Bila Tserkva and Brovary “absolutely unacceptable,” saying local reports did not match the situation on the ground.
