EU's Support for Ukraine: New Generators to Restore Energy Supply

The European Union has decided to send a new batch of emergency generators from its strategic reserves to Ukraine in response to ongoing Russian attacks on the country's energy infrastructure. This was announced by the press service of the European Commission.
«Over a million Ukrainians are left without electricity, water, and heating in freezing temperatures due to relentless Russian strikes. Today, the European Commission is deploying 447 emergency generators worth €3.7 million to restore electricity supply to hospitals, shelters, and critical services,» the statement reads.
The generators, mobilized from the rescEU strategic reserves and located in Poland, will be distributed by the Ministry of Communities and Territories of Ukraine in cooperation with the Ukrainian Red Cross among the most affected communities.
The European Commission also reminded that since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, the EU has sent about 10,000 generators to Ukraine through the Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM). Before this winter, the European Commission completed the transfer of a full thermal power plant donated by Lithuania, as part of the largest coordinated logistics operation in the history of the Mechanism.
«The European Commission strongly condemns Russia's attacks on critical energy infrastructure and the humanitarian harm they cause. The EU will not allow Russia to freeze Ukraine into submission and will continue to help Ukrainians survive this winter,» the statement emphasizes.
The First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy of Ukraine, Denys Shmyhal, stated that Ukraine has received over 50 tons of equipment for energy needs in recent days.
