"With the temperatures we get here, it would lead to conditions that are very close to a humanitarian disaster," De Croo told the BBC.

He accuses Russia of systematically striking Ukraine's energy infrastructure and civilian targets.

It's about gas stations, shopping malls and business centres, but above all about energy infrastructure and so on. There is absolutely no justification for it.

During winter in Ukraine, temperatures can drop to -20 degrees.
