We fully support the call of Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha for urgent international assistance in response to Russia’s ongoing energy terror and the severe winter conditions affecting our communities.
The courage and dedication of Ukraine’s energy workers under extreme circumstances are nothing short of heroic. At the same time, solidarity from global partners is crucial to ensure that Ukrainian families, children, and communities receive the necessary electricity, power supplies, and equipment.
We express our sincere gratitude to the Polish partners and nearly 24,000 donors who have already contributed through the “Warmth for Kyiv” initiative. Their example demonstrates how leadership, compassion, and global cooperation can save lives and strengthen resilience.
The National Platform of the Three Seas Initiative – Ukraine calls on governments, international organizations, civil society, communities, and compassionate individuals worldwide to join these efforts. Together, we can ensure that the people of Ukraine are not left alone, that their resilience is supported, and that Russia’s attempts to impose winter terror will not succeed.
❗️ Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called on global partners to support the Ukrainians amid Russia’s constant energy terror and harsh winter weather conditions:
💬 "We are reaching out to all Ukrainian communities abroad, partners, friends, and benefactors worldwide with a call to support the Ukrainian people during this time of extreme winter frosts and brutal Russian terror.
Today, I instructed all our foreign diplomatic missions to initiate urgent fundraising campaigns similar to the one recently conducted by our Polish friends.
As a reminder, our neighbors demonstrated true Polish leadership, already raising approximately $1 million through the “Warmth for Kyiv” initiative. I want to thank each of the nearly 24,000 donors. We will always remember your solidarity during this difficult time.
Currently, our heroes-energy workers are performing real miracles, saving lives under extreme conditions.
MFA of Ukraine is bolstering these efforts through international support – at the level of governments, international organizations, and everyday people, communities, activists, and philanthropists.
We are now scaling the Polish initiative to other countries around the world.
I call upon all compassionate people worldwide – all our friends, communities, civil society, parliaments, regional and local politicians, opinion leaders, the media, and other groups – to respond to this appeal.
This assistance is urgently needed. It will go toward purchasing equipment, electricity, power supplies, and all forms of energy directly for Ukrainians and the communities in need. A small piece of your warmth will save Ukrainian families and children.
This is about more than just donations – it is about the feeling that we are not alone. It is about the conviction that Russia will not succeed in breaking us with its winter terror. It is about proving that the only response to their cruelty will be an even greater strength and global unity in support of Ukraine – both at the macro level and between people".
