In the run-up to the heating season, the Danish government is allocating DKK 130 million (over EUR 16 million) to restore the Ukrainian energy sector.
This is stated in the report of the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities of Denmark.
"On the eve of the heating season, Russia continues to deliberately destroy Ukrainians' access to electricity and heat. Denmark's new contribution of DKK 130 million will make the energy supply more sustainable," the statement said.
Denmark's new contribution to support Ukraine's energy system is one of the largest by the country. It was announced during a meeting of the Group of Seven countries' working group on Ukraine's energy security.
"We have to do everything possible to make the Ukrainian energy system as resilient as possible," said Lars Aagaard, Minister of Climate, Energy and Supply.
The Danish assistance is funded under a programme of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and will support emergency measures, equipment and spare parts to help restore security of supply.
