Zelenskyy asks Latin American leaders for power grid repair equipment

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Latin American leaders at the Ibero-American Summit in Madrid to urgently provide equipment to repair Ukraine's power grid, which has been damaged by relentless Russian attacks. Zelenskyy stated that every power plant in Ukraine has been hit and requested direct cooperation with companies to supply transformers, cables, and generators quickly. He also sought diplomatic support from the 22-nation group, noting this was Ukraine's first representation at the summit. The appeal comes as repeated strikes raise fears of a difficult winter, with Kyiv's mayor calling supplies "extremely difficult." Zelenskyy's visit coincides with US-led efforts to revive peace negotiations, with trilateral talks set to resume next week in the UAE.
