Germany pledges additional 100 million euros in winter aid for Ukraine

CHISINAU (Reuters) -Germany will provide an additional 100 million euros ($111 million) in aid for Ukraine this winter, ******* Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock announced during a visit to Moldova on Tuesday.

Russia is once again planning a “winter war with the aim of making the lives of people in Ukraine as terrible as possible”, Baerbock said ahead of a ministerial conference in Chisinau.

Russia has launched waves of attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure such as power stations, at times causing rolling blackouts in parts of the country.

In June, Kyiv said more air defences were needed to allow repairs to infrastructure in order to secure demand for winter, when power demand is at its highest as temperatures drop far below zero.
