Briefing by News4U · First published
Today Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on X that he spoke with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and they agreed the European Union would activate a special emergency mechanism to quickly provide Ukraine with funding for its most urgent needs. He said many cities and communities face a very difficult situation with power, water and heating due to Russian strikes, especially in Kyiv, the Dnipro, Sumy and Donetsk regions, and Kherson. Zelenskyy said their teams are already working on this and also discussed extra winter energy and humanitarian aid, last week's positive EU Enlargement Package assessment, and coordinated positions on an Abu Dhabi meeting.
