“The Foreign Secretary is due to sign the agreement today with Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko, alongside Energy Community Secretariat Deputy Director Dirk Buschle, to transfer the first £5 million [$5,8 million – ed.] of the UK’s £10 million commitment to the Energy Community’s Ukraine Energy Support Fund,” noted the UK government.
This support will help repair critical energy infrastructure following ongoing Russian attacks and restore power to households and key facilities.
Great Britain is currently the largest donor to the Fund.
“The Government of Ukraine said it needed specialized energy equipment to repair critical national infrastructure, and the UK is delivering on their request. The UK has made the largest donation to date to this Fund. We need all partners to step up their support and show Putin that his attempts to destroy Ukraine will be met with fierce resistance,” said the UK Foreign Secretary.
