Ukraine is seeking more air defense systems ahead of winter to protect its energy infrastructure from the type of Russian attacks that caused massive blackouts across the country last year, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s deputy chief of staff said.

Air defense support is needed ahead of a “very difficult” period “when Russia will renew shelling the critical infrastructure of Ukraine and energy objects, endangering lives of people,” Ihor Zhovkva said in a Bloomberg TV interview. “We need as many additional air defense systems, ammunition as possible.”
