Zelenskyy to meet Trump in DC as Ukraine seeks defence, energy support
"Kyiv has announced that it is sending a delegation to Washington for talks on strengthening its defence and energy resilience as Russian forces continue targeting Ukraine's power infrastructure ahead of the cold winter months. The departure of a senior delegation, led by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, was announced on Monday, just as Ukraine's Energy Ministry said it had imposed power outages across the country in a bid to reduce pressure on the grid in the wake of damaging Russian attacks."
"Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday that he would meet with his US counterpart, President Donald Trump, in Washington on Friday to discuss Ukraine's air defence and long-range strike capabilities. Speaking to reporters in Kyiv, Zelenskyy said that he had shared with Trump a vision of how many US Tomahawk missiles Ukraine needs for its war effort against Russia and that the two leaders would further discuss the matter on Friday."

Intensified Russian attacks on energy facilities prompted restrictions across seven regions to preserve supply.
