During the meeting, Zelenskyy and Salih discussed the consequences of Russian attacks on the Ukrainian energy system and the necessary assistance.
They don't want to stop. We are trying to do everything we can at different levels of negotiations, relying on the support of our American partners. But we feel that we need more pressure. And also more support for the morale of our people

We are proud of our cooperation with you. UNHCR will continue and strengthen our support, complementing the extraordinary efforts of the authorities, and will do more to support resilient communities in the recovery process
