China has agreed to send an additional humanitarian energy aid package to Ukraine, Ukrainian officials announced after high-level talks in Munich this week, marking a notable development in China’s engagement amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said his meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi focused on the broader war situation, including the impact of repeated Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
Following the discussions, Sybiha announced that Beijing will provide a new package of energy assistance designed to help Kyiv cope with the urgent humanitarian needs caused by damage to power systems.
“I am grateful to Beijing for its decision to provide Ukraine with additional humanitarian energy assistance,” Sybiha wrote on X, expressing appreciation for China’s support as parts of Ukraine face blackouts and energy shortages.
The talks also included dialogue on expanding trade relations and maintaining contacts “at the highest level,” Sybiha said.
Details on the scale and delivery timeline of the aid package were not immediately released, but the move comes as energy infrastructure remains a critical target in Russia’s campaign and as Kyiv seeks sustained support from global partners.
China’s gesture was presented as a humanitarian response, even as Beijing maintains official neutrality on the war and keeps strong ties with Moscow.
