AP has learned about the connection between the energy crisis in Ukraine and the peace talks

The Ukrainian energy crisis has had an impact on the peace talks that took place last week. This was reported to the Associated Press (AP) on November 26, citing a senior Ukrainian official.

"This is extremely important because of the energy situation in Ukraine, extremely important because of what Ukrainians need this winter, extremely important in terms of fighting," the official said.

Shortly before that, the British newspaper The Guardian predicted Ukraine's hardest winter since 2022. It was clarified that the citizens of the country are dissatisfied with the current situation. Public outrage over the lack of electricity in the country has intensified amid a major corruption scandal in the government.
