Quote: "I am authorising an additional $10 million to support our ongoing efforts to provide emergency assistance to keep Ukraine’s energy infrastructure up and running in the face of Russia’s relentless missile and drone attacks."
Details: He noted that the USA "continues to rally the world to support Ukraine" and applaud the over 50 countries who "have come together in solidarity with Ukraine as it defends its sovereignty and territorial integrity".
"Russia alone could end its war today. Until it does so, we will stand united with Ukraine for as long as it takes to strengthen its military on the battlefield so that they will be in the strongest possible position at any future negotiating table," Blinken added.
Background: Last month, it became known that the Biden administration is providing US$125 million for electrical parts and other supplies to help Ukrainian repair crews keep up with Russian strikes hitting the country’s electrical system.
Russia has intensified attacks on the Ukrainian power grid and other critical infrastructure facilities since October 2022, which has led to shortages in Ukraine's energy system and large-scale power outages.
