Ukraine expects new decisions from partners to strengthen air defense, protect energy sector – Sybiha

Ukraine is in constant dialogue with its partners regarding additional assistance during the winter period and expects new decisions to strengthen air defense, defense capabilities, and protection of the energy sector.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said this at a joint press conference with his Norwegian counterpart Espen Barth Eide in Kyiv on Monday, Ukrinform reports.

The top Ukrainian diplomat noted that Ukraine has provided all partners with a list of priority needs to protect the energy sector and other strategic facilities.

"I am convinced there will be additional decisions. I am sure they will concern strengthening our defense capability, our air defense shield, and of course, the energy sector. I will not announce them in advance. We are now in constant 24/7 dialogue, and this gives us confidence that we are not alone," Sybiha said.

He added that Ukraine is grateful to its partners for this support, noting that "Norway is also a leader in this regard."
