“On November 22, the Government of Japan decided to extend Emergency Grant Aid of approximately 2.57 million US dollars as support for winterization assistance in the electric power sector, etc. in Ukraine,” noted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan.
It is noted that generators and solar lanterns will be transferred to Ukraine through the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
“The large-scale blackout has occurred in various areas of Ukraine caused by destruction of a large part of energy infrastructure facilities by Russia’s attacks. While the winter gets colder and days get shorter every day in Ukraine, the aid has significant importance as winterization support for those who cannot use heating facilities and lighting equipment due to the blackout,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan said.
Japan will continue to support Ukraine.
