Ukraine's Foreign Minister Appeals to G7 for Urgent Air Defense and Energy Support
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister has issued an urgent appeal to the G7 for enhanced support, as Russia intensifies a brutal campaign targeting the country's energy infrastructure. The plea comes amid systematic attacks designed to cripple Ukraine's power grid and heating systems as winter approaches, a tactic aimed at breaking civilian morale and weakening the nation's industrial capacity.Recent allied responses include Canada's announcement of new sanctions against Moscow and a UK pledge of €14 million for emergency grid repairs. However, these measures are widely seen as insufficient against the scale of the destruction.Analysts suggest that the provision of advanced air defense systems is critical to protect vital assets preemptively, rather than a reactive strategy of funding repairs after attacks occur. The G7's response is now a critical test of Western resolve, with the potential to either deter further Russian aggression or signal a dangerous fracture in the alliance. The outcome will have significant implications not only for Ukraine's survival but for global security, as other authoritarian regimes closely watch the unity and determination of democratic nations.
