In March-April, Ukrgasvydobuvannya JSC received 102 diesel generators funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the company’s press service said on Friday.

The diesel generators can also be used as mobile power sources for field crews for maintenance, repair and construction of UGV facilities.
