What happened: Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Russia has carried out 76 targeted strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure in the week since the US announced an "energy ceasefire," and warned that easing sanctions would fund Moscow's war effort. Key numbers: 76 targeted attacks on energy facilities in one week; nearly 2,700 strike Why it matters: Sybiha argued that sanctions relief or economic accommodations under continued strikes give the Kremlin resources to finance its war ahead of winter, and said any serious effort to end the war must increase pressure on Moscow.
