Germany will soon provide Ukraine with an additional €200 million in winter assistance amid intensifying Russian attacks on energy and utility infrastructure. This was reported by Germany's Federal Foreign Office, UNN writes.

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stressed that Russia is deliberately attacking facilities on which the supply of heat, water and electricity to Ukrainians depends.
According to him, Moscow is trying to use winter conditions as a tool to exert pressure on the civilian population and force Ukraine to capitulate.
In order to force Ukrainians to surrender, Russia is ready to use any means: heat, water and energy supply infrastructure is facing increasingly targeted attacks. This strategy is failing, as Putin continues to underestimate the resilience of Ukraine and its partners
Germany is stepping up support for Ukraine ahead of winter
Germany's foreign policy office noted that €200 million is planned to be allocated in the near future.
The assistance is intended to support Ukraine during the winter period, when Russian strikes on critical infrastructure pose additional risks to the population.
At the same time, Germany's Foreign Office has not yet specified the exact allocation of funds among the areas of winter support.
