Ukraine To Receive Biggest Energy Support Deal Yet Ahead of Russia’s Full-Scale Invasion Anniversary

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine and its partners were working to finalize what could be the largest package of energy assistance by February 24, which is the 4th anniversary of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, according to European Pravda on February 13.

Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, involving European leaders as well as the EU and NATO, Zelenskyy said the talks focused primarily on urgent energy needs and additional support beyond packages already being prepared.

He said Ukraine expected rapid finalization of the energy package and that partners also discussed major military support, including air defense missiles and other measures to strengthen Ukrainian forces, the outlet said.

Preliminary agreements mean the joint energy-assistance package could be record-setting in scale, Zelenskyy said. “I think we can now work on the biggest package of energy assistance,” the president added.

Zelenskyy said partners agreed to maximize support over the next 10 to 11 days so that by February 24—four years since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine—there would be “packages and decisions,” and he added he hoped new sanctions could also follow.

His remarks came amid a statement by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha that Kyiv had received confirmation that the United States was prepared to advance legally binding security guarantees for Ukraine toward ratification in Congress, with a draft bilateral agreement nearly finalized.
