"That is why I am announcing the UK’s additional 10 million pounds to support for energy infrastructure repairs in Ukraine," Cooper said before the start of the NATO ministerial meeting.

Despite the peace efforts of the US and Ukraine, she stressed that Russian leader Vladimir Putin still wants to continue the war.

The minister recalled seeing massive strikes throughout Ukraine over the weekend, which led to power outages for hundreds of thousands of people. She said that Britain will continue to support Ukraine.

"We have seen Putin try to escalate war and we have seen the continued strikes that have led to power cuts in Ukraine...We will continue to work to switch the lights on, to work for sovereignty of the Ukrainian people with the security of Europe and NATO at its heart," said Yvette Cooper.
