France has sent 41 power generators to Kharkiv and Chernihiv, whose energy infrastructure has been severely damaged by Russian strikes, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports.
“France supports the Ukrainian people. We have sent 41 power generators to Kharkiv and Chernihiv, whose energy infrastructure has been severely damaged by Russian strikes,” the Ministry said in a statement on social media site X.
The European Commission has announced the shipment of another 500 power generators to Ukraine.
“The ongoing brutal attacks by Russia have left Ukraine’s energy infrastructure fragile. We are sending 500 more power generators to Ukraine, bringing the total number to more than 5,500, to ensure adequate energy supply and keep vital services running,” the European Commission said in a statement on Twitter.
The financial value of the 500 power generators being sent to Ukraine is €16.5 million. The generators will be handed over to various Ukrainian ministries.
A post on the Commission’s website states that the goal is to ensure sufficient electricity supply during the cold and dark months, as well as to keep vital Ukrainian services, including hospitals, operational. 40 of the 500 generators are intended for schools.
