During a visit to Kyiv, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced over $700 million in humanitarian aid for Ukraine, aimed at strengthening the energy grid ahead of a challenging winter marked by expected Russian attacks. The aid package includes $325 million for energy infrastructure repairs, $290 million for humanitarian support to displaced individuals, and $102 million for demining efforts to clear landmines left by Russian forces. This announcement was made in conjunction with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, who emphasized the United Kingdom's commitment to providing additional financial support amid the ongoing conflict. As the situation escalates in the eastern Donetsk region, both officials expressed condolences for the civilian casualties resulting from the conflict. Blinken acknowledged Ukraine's request for long-range missile capabilities and stated he would discuss it further in Washington. The visit underscores the urgent need for international assistance as Ukraine continues to face significant military pressure from Russia.
