Germany handed Ukraine a "winter" aid package for energy
A package worth 88.5 million euros was provided by Germany through the European Energy Community.
This was reported by the Ministry of Economy and Climate Protection and Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany, Censor.NET reports with reference to Ukrinform.
"The federal government provides another 88.5 million euros to the European Energy Community. The Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Protection allocates 54.3 million euros through KfW (the German state bank, which, on behalf of the German government, finances development programs around the world. - Ed.), and the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs - 34.2 million euros," noted in the press release.
The ministries remind that in the second winter of the war of aggression, Russian aviation continued to attack the Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
Ukraine uses the Energy Support Fund to, among other things, finance energy sources, spare parts, and equipment, such as transformers and generators, that help maintain Ukraine's energy supply. Ukrainian energy engineers can use it to repair destroyed substations and power plants to continue providing the population with electricity and heat. The rest of the funds will be used for green energy transition projects, such as photovoltaic systems on public buildings and green reconstruction of Ukraine.
