What the G7 ambassadors talked about
According to official data, in addition to Svitlana Grinchuk, representatives of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine, Ukrenergo, and Energoatom participated in the negotiations.
This time, their focus was on Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy and civilian infrastructure.
The Group of Seven also discussed supporting official Kyiv in countering further attacks and addressing the most urgent needs.
What is important to understand is that during the night of October 9-10, the Russian invaders carried out another massive attack on the territory of Ukraine.

We need not empty words, but decisive actions - from the US, Europe, the G7 - in implementing air defense supplies, in sanctions. We are counting on a reaction to this cruelty from the G20, all those who talk about peace in their speeches, but refrain from taking real steps.
