Lithuania is sending Ukraine more than 90 generators to ensure the functioning of heating, electricity, and critical infrastructure, Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Rūginienė said.
“Ukrainians are facing a serious shortage of electricity and heating due to Russia’s continuous shelling of energy infrastructure — a deliberate, brutal strategy that has been used every winter since the start of the war, this time with particular intensity and recklessness. Lithuania is sending more than 90 generators to ensure the functioning of heating, electricity, and critical infrastructure,” she wrote on social media.
The prime minister emphasized that Lithuania stands firmly on the side of Ukraine.
“On Ukraine’s Unity Day, we are sending warmth from Lithuania – power generators worth over €2 million. Lithuania supports Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine!” Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys wrote on social media.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga also reported that he had spoken with his Lithuanian colleague and friend Kęstutis Budrys and thanked him for the announced assistance.
“I am sincerely grateful for the important news that Lithuania is providing Ukraine with much-needed additional energy assistance — a large number of generators to strengthen our resilience.
This is vital and timely assistance,” Sybiga wrote.
He informed his colleague about the situation on the battlefield and the latest developments in the peace talks.
The ministers agreed on further contacts at various levels and coordinated their positions ahead of international events to be held next week.
They paid particular attention to the next steps in promoting Ukraine’s integration into the EU.
“On this symbolic day — Ukrainian Unity Day — I expressed my gratitude to Kęstutis for his personal efforts in support of Ukraine and congratulated him on being awarded the Order of Merit by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy,” Sibiga said.
