Support for Ukraine's energy sector from international partners has reached almost $1.5 billion, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said this in a post on Facebook, summing up the results of the past week.
"Assistance to the energy sector from partners is gaining momentum. We have almost $1.5 billion in declared support. Additional equipment is arriving every day to repair damaged infrastructure. More than 200 cargoes of energy equipment have already arrived," the report said.
Shmyhal recalled that the state would allocate UAH 150 million to small and medium-sized entrepreneurs for investment projects in the field of energy saving and energy supply. Also, last week the Government of Ukraine allocated UAH 400 million to businesses as part of the eRobota project, Ukrinform reports.
In 2022, the EU countries have sent more than 1,000 power generators to Ukraine against the background of Russian attacks on energy infrastructure facilities.
“To provide electricity to homes and hospitals, European countries have offered more than 1,000 power generators to Ukraine. Through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, almost 78,000 tonnes of in-kind assistance have also been delivered to the country,” European Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarčič posted on Twitter.
Ukraine has received 41 powerful generators intended for health facilities from the Republic of Kazakhstan.
“As part of the agreements reached between Ukraine and the UAE on humanitarian assistance, the team of the Ukrainian State Property Fund has received the first aid shipment in Warsaw: 1,200 generators for Ukraine,” State property reported yesterday.
The second shipment with 1,200 generators is expected to arrive in early January 2023.
