Germany will allocate an additional 100 million euros (approximately $111 million) in support for Ukraine this winter, as announced by German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock during her visit to Moldova on Tuesday.

Baerbock highlighted that Russia is once again preparing for a “winter war” aimed at exacerbating the hardships faced by the Ukrainian population. This statement was made prior to a ministerial conference in Chisinau. Russia has been intensifying its attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, including power stations, which has led to rolling blackouts in various regions.

In June, Kyiv emphasized the urgent need for enhanced air defenses to facilitate repairs to the infrastructure, ensuring that power supply can meet the increased demand during the winter months when temperatures plummet significantly.
