European countries will transfer 157 generators to Ukraine due to Russian attacks on the energy system.
This information was reported by Der Standart.
The publication notes that the EU has mobilized emergency energy assistance for Ukraine, which is already on its way.
"After a series of targeted missile and drone attacks by Russia on Ukraine's energy infrastructure in recent weeks, Ukraine's energy supply has been significantly damaged," explained a representative of the European Commission.
According to the European Commission, Austria, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands have provided 157 generators of various sizes.
To further strengthen Ukraine's energy infrastructure, the EU is also sending ten high-capacity generators (1 MW) worth €3.57 million from its own RescEU reserves. Each of these powerful 1 MW generators can provide electricity to a medium-sized hospital in an emergency situation.
EU Crisis Management Commissioner Janez Lenarčič thanked the countries for providing generators to Ukraine through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.
The EU Emergency Response Coordination Centre is in close contact with the Ukrainian authorities on the ground to provide further assistance if needed, he said.
