The United States has allocated $250 million for winter humanitarian aid and $4.5 billion in direct budget support for salaries and social assistance to Ukraine.
Russia’s targeted rocket attacks on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure are a shameful escalation of the war. This was announced on Thursday, November 24, by the US Permanent Representative to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield at a meeting of the UN Security Council.
“Let’s be honest, these are attacks against critical infrastructure, and they are a shameful escalation in Russia’s brutal and unjust war,” the US post said.
According to Linda Thomas-Greenfield, Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to use the winter cold as a weapon to inflict great suffering on the Ukrainian people. He noted that the Kremlin has resorted to such tactics because of major defeats on the battlefield.
“Putin’s motive is clear. He has decided that if he cannot seize Ukraine by force, he will try to freeze it. If he succeeds, millions of Ukrainians will be without electricity, without water, without heat during the cold that winter months. houses,” said the diplomat.
The US representative emphasized that Russia’s attacks on civilian infrastructure have been so massive that they have led to blackouts outside of Ukraine. In addition, they create a serious risk to Ukraine’s nuclear facilities. Because of this, he appealed to the UN with a call “strongly and unconditionally” to condemn the actions of the Russian invaders. The US Permanent Representative also emphasized the need to achieve the creation of a mechanism for the responsibility of the Russian Federation for such actions.
“We must do our best to support the people of Ukraine,” he concluded.
Recall that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky spoke at a meeting of the UN Security Council. He called on the organization to condemn Russian missile attacks on our country’s energy infrastructure and called them “crimes against humanity.”
