On 5 November, a joint meeting on the current situation in Ukraine's energy sector was held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine under the chairmanship of Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Olexandr Mischenko. The meeting was attended by representatives of UN agencies, including the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

The meeting was also joined by Deputy Minister for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine Artem Rybchenko, Deputy Head of the State Agency for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine for Digital Development, Digital Transformations and Digitalization (CDTO) Roman Komendant, as well as representatives of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian side provided the UN representatives with a detailed briefing on the current needs and key challenges that remain critical for ensuring the resilience of the country's energy system, and called on international partners to further consolidate efforts in supporting Ukrainian communities, particularly in frontline areas.

«Russia is deliberately striking our energy infrastructure. The aggressor state seeks to make normal life impossible for millions of Ukrainians, attempting to break our resistance and our will to fight for freedom. We are grateful for your steadfast support and look forward to further deepening our cooperation to ensure a more effective and timely response to the challenges caused by Russia's armed aggression», - emphasized Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Olexandr Mischenko.

He also underlined that victory in the war against Russia depends not only on the heroism of Ukraine's Defense Forces but also on the resilience of the Ukrainian people, who face daily missile and drone attacks.

The presence and active engagement of UN system agencies in Ukraine during wartime is an important signal of the international community's solidarity with the Ukrainian people.

In an open dialogue involving the experts from relevant institutions, participants discussed further joint steps and identified priority areas for cooperation.
