Also on Monday, Ukraine\u2019s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that his country had agreed to establish a new mechanism to allow European Union funds to be deployed more quickly in response to Russian attacks\u00a0 against Ukrainian energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The Kirishi refinery is Russia\u2019s \u2060\u2060second-largest, and the Leningrad region is a major hub \u200c\u200cfor the country\u2019s oil and grain exports via the Baltic Sea.<\/p>\n

Leningrad\u2019s governor also said air defence forces had downed 113 Ukrainian drones, and that an apartment in Kirishi \u2060\u2060had been damaged in the \u2060\u2060same overnight attack on the region.<\/p>\n

Russian forces struck three \u2060\u2060power substations across \u2060\u2060Ukraine overnight on Monday and also hit \u200c\u200ca cargo ship in the Black Sea that Moscow \u2060\u2060said was providing \u2060\u2060arms to Ukrainian forces, Russian state \u2060\u2060news agencies \u2060\u2060reported.<\/p>\n

Al Jazeera could not independently verify those claims.<\/p>\n

Russia has kept up regular attacks on Ukraine\u2019s civilian infrastructure, including energy sites across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, many of our cities and communities are facing a very difficult situation with power, water, and heating supplies due to Russian strikes,\u201d Ukraine\u2019s president said in a post on X on Monday.<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy said that he had agreed with Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, to \u201cactivate a special emergency mechanism\u201d that would allow European funding \u201cfor what is needed most\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur teams are already working on this,\u201d Zelenskyy added.<\/p>\n

The Kyiv, Dnipro, Sumy, and Donetsk regions, as well as Kherson, are facing the most acute energy crisis, the Ukrainian president said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
