The German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Protection is allocating an additional €7 million to repair Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
This was reported by Ukrinform with reference to the website of the German ministry.
According to the report, the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Protection is providing the European Energy Community with another €7.27 million to repair the Ukrainian energy infrastructure through a loan mechanism for reconstruction.
The allocated funds will be transferred to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund.
"Russia's attacks on Ukraine's civilian energy infrastructure continue unabated. These attacks are harming the people of Ukraine. Germany is responding to the ongoing emergency with a new contribution to the Energy Support Fund of the Energy Community of Ukraine. We stand firmly by our Ukrainian partners in these uncertain times," said Acting Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy Robert Habeck.
Ukraine finances the purchase of spare parts and equipment for the destroyed energy infrastructure from the Energy Support Fund. The Energy Community holds tenders for the purchase of goods and controls the use of funds.
By the end of 2024, the German government had paid more than €155 million to the Energy Support Fund.
