Quote from Umierov: "We need more weapons to make the game change. [...] Soon, hopefully, the jets will come, and we will make progress. [...] We need these weapons to regain the territories and have an advantage on the battlefield!"

Background:

• Ukrainian intelligence has information that Russia is conducting reconnaissance activities to find out more about Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
• Last winter's Russian missile attacks severely damaged about 63% of Kyiv's power grid equipment, which is essential for stable operation during autumn and winter.
