The United Kingdom has announced an additional £20 million (€23 million) contribution to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund. The funds from the next grant from the United Kingdom will soon be transferred to the Fund's account.
This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Energy.
The funds will be used to purchase equipment to repair damaged energy infrastructure, strengthen physical protection and provide backup power, including generators and distributed generation.
"We thank the UK Government for this important support. The enemy continues to destroy the Ukrainian energy sector. The assistance of our partners is essential to carry out repairs, restore damaged facilities and increase manoeuvring capacities for the next heating season," said Minister of Energy of Ukraine Herman Halushchenko.
The new grant complements the UK's previous contributions, which have already totalled €50 million. The total amount of contributions to the Fund has reached more than €433 million.
