Within the framework of joint Ukrainian-French initiative “Light during winter”, 23 communities in nine regions will receive two 5 kW generators each, the National Interest Defense Network (ANTS) reported in the press release on Friday.
To accomplish this task in late November, ANTS activists, together with the French NGO Stand with Ukraine, approached the Association of French Municipalities with a request to help purchase generators for Ukrainian communities.
The first generators were delivered to Ukraine on December 19. At that time, eight communities received generators with a capacity of 9 kW.
Today 46 more generators were brought to Ukraine from French communities. They were received by: Khotynska, Sadivska, Lebedynska, Krasnopolska, Baranivska, Volynska, Berezhanska, Tulchynska, Chortkivska, Trostyanetska, Nedryhaylivska, Pokrovska, Podgorodne, Dubovyka, Apostolivska, Novhorod-Severska, Novobasanska, Poromivska, Gorodnytska, Akhtyrska, Zolochivska, Drohobychska and Kremenchug communities.
Also in the near future, ANTC will deliver another 400 generators to other communities that it works with within the Community Restoration Project, which includes 30 communities in 10 regions of Ukraine. All of them were either under occupation or suffered from enemy attacks.
This “Strengthening Communities for Victory and Ukraine’s Recovery” project is supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
