Zelensky stressed that the Kremlin aims to destroy gas and electricity infrastructure before the winter season.Next week, a meeting of the sanctions coordinators of the 'Group of Seven' is scheduled. Ukraine is preparing its proposals for new sanctions and restrictions on the supply of critically important components to Russia, as well as introducing Ukrainian sanctions against those who support the Russian military machine.In the context of the events taking place, it is worth noting that the escalation of violence from Russia raises concerns among the international community.
