Germany allocates an aid package for the Ukrainian energy industry
Small thermal power plants, boiler houses, generators and solar systems for hospitals, schools, and community centers will be purchased for 70 million euros
Germany's budget committee approved a winter aid package for Ukraine's energy industry in the amount of 70 million euros.
This was reported by the Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development of Germany.
This money will be used to provide cities and villages of Ukraine with small thermal power plants, boiler houses, generators and solar systems. Community centers, hospitals, schools and other social institutions will receive a more secure and independent energy supply.
The Federal Minister of Economic Cooperation and Development of Germany, Svenja Schulze, emphasized that Russia wants to expel Ukrainians from their land with its attacks on energy facilities. "We support Ukraine in rebuilding the energy supply in a decentralized way, because then Russia will not be able to destroy it so easily," she added. Aid will go to communities whose energy and heat supplies have been significantly damaged due to Russian attacks. Special attention will be paid to the communities where the settlers settled.
As "Ukrainian Energy" reported, due to hostilities and other reasons, 501 settlements were cut off on Friday morning. In particular, villages in the Donetsk, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, and Kherson regions are without electricity.
