“The focus is on providing assistance to support Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in the face of daily Russian missile terror,” Sybiha said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“This aid is for Ukrainian families, for our energy system, so that homes have light and warmth. We already have first confirmations of additional support for our energy workers, who are showing the world examples of courage and skill in restoring our system.”
The minister provided the following details in a Facebook post:
- Italy: Industrial boilers for central heating systems
- Belgium: Mobile boilers and generators
- Czechia: Generators for multiple Ukrainian cities
- Romania: Battery-storage stations
- Bulgaria: Generators
- Denmark: Uninterruptible power supply systems and a generator for a Kyiv hospital
- European Union: 445 generators
He noted that Norway, Germany, Austria, and the United Kingdom have concentrated their funding on purchasing energy equipment and technology to stabilize Ukraine’s power grid.
“Work continues, and we are updating the [equipment] list,” Sybiha added.
“We are reaching out to all partners, municipalities, and organizations around the world. All our embassies and consulates are involved. I will continue to report on specific results, new packages and decisions. I am grateful to all the donors and our partners who are helping us through this difficult winter. We will always remember this sincere support, the warmth of your hearts in the coldest period of our history.”
As of Jan. 19, the Energy Ministry reported that conditions in Ukraine’s energy system remain critical. Ongoing Russian attacks on energy facilities and harsh winter weather have forced power supply restrictions nationwide.
