Polish Foreign Minister Urges More Winter Aid for Ukraine

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski urged European countries to provide Ukraine with generators and other energy equipment as Russia continues attacking critical infrastructure ahead of winter.
Speaking Saturday in northern Poland, Sikorski said Ukraine’s roughly 1,200-kilometer front line remained largely static and Russia’s offensive had stalled amid rising Russian casualties. He said President Vladimir Putin appeared to be relying on additional recruitment and damage to Ukrainian heating and power systems to increase pressure during the cold months.
“If Ukraine survives this winter — and I am optimistic — Russian resources will begin to run out next year,” Sikorski said.
His appeal coincided with the relaunch of the Polish fundraising campaign Warmth from Poland for Kyiv. Organizers said 80,000 people contributed last winter to purchase generators for the Ukrainian capital. This year, the campaign aims to raise 10 million zlotys, or about €2.5 million.
Separately, Polish Radio reported, citing The Telegraph, that Russia, Ukraine and the United States are expected to resume technical talks in Abu Dhabi next month. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said Kyiv is prepared to negotiate but wants a ceasefire and credible security guarantees. Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov described the expected meeting as a “trial run” and said European representatives should participate.
