News about Andrii Sybiha

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha says Russia has systematically stepped up targeted strikes on Ukraine's power grid, citing 76 attacks on energy infrastructure since US President Donald Trump announced an “energy ceasefire” a week ago. In the past seven days alone, Russia reportedly launched nearly 2,700 strike drones, 1,700 guided aerial bombs and 66 missiles, most of them high-speed ballistic missiles aimed at municipal utilities. Sybiha argues that easing sanctions or offering economic concessions would only give Moscow more revenue to fund its military operations ahead of winter, and he urges partners to increase pressure. His remarks came amid disputes over Trump's October 16 executive order waiving mandatory Russia sanctions and the October 9 arrangement allowing Russian refined diesel exports under a US Treasury general license.
