Ukrainians prepare for hours-long power outages; US, UK and France say Iranian-supplied drones used to strike civilians
Leaders of the 27 European Union countries are set to meet later today to discuss options for more support to Ukraine, including energy equipment, helping restore power supply and long-term financing to rebuild.
The leaders are also expected to back an alternative price benchmark for liquefied natural gas and joint gas buying, after earlier agreeing to cut consumption and introduce levies on windfall profits in the energy industry.
