Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal urged international partners to speed up efforts to confiscate frozen Russian assets during talks with US Special Representative Richard Verma. The initiative aims to redirect these resources towards Ukraine's recovery, especially in the energy system after Russian deliberate attacks.
In a move to bolster Ukraine's battered energy infrastructure after Russian strikes, the United States also committed $500 million in new energy assistance and redirected an additional $324 million for urgent energy needs.
