Zelensky says Finland aid and new shelter plans expected this month

President Zelensky used a Facebook message to detail ongoing Russian attacks that targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, causing power outages in the Volyn region and Kyiv. He emphasized the need for continued missile-defence capabilities to protect civilians and critical sites. Finland, he noted, will announce fresh assistance for Ukraine as early as this month, continuing its historic support.

Zelensky also referenced the Shelter Coalition created with Finland, urging rapid progress so every Ukrainian community has adequate shelters. Additionally, he called on European allies to adopt the 22nd sanctions round against Russia and to allocate a minimum of €70 billion for Ukraine's defence, especially air defence before winter.
