KYIV, Feb 15 (Reuters) - ⁠Ukraine has agreed new energy and military support ⁠packages with European allies ahead of the ‌fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion on February 24, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday.

Kyiv is aiming to rally support among ​partners as it struggles to ⁠fend off Russian battlefield ⁠advances and air attacks on its energy system while ⁠under ‌U.S. pressure to negotiate peace.

"In Munich, we agreed with the leaders of the Berlin ⁠Format on specific packages of energy and ​military aid ‌for Ukraine by February 24," Zelenskiy wrote on ⁠X.

Zelenskiy said ​on Friday after a meeting of the so-called Berlin Format of about a dozen European leaders in Munich ⁠that he had hoped for new ​support, including air-defence missiles.

"I am grateful to our partners for their readiness to help, and we count on ⁠all deliveries arriving promptly," he added.

Russian attacks on major cities such as Kyiv have battered Ukraine's energy infrastructure, plunging millions of residents into power outages ​of varying periods in freezing ⁠cold weather.

Zelenskiy added that Russia had launched around 1,300 ​attack drones, 1,200 guided aerial ‌bombs and dozens of ballistic ​missiles at Ukraine over the past week alone.
