Seven Ukrainian frontline regions this month received 600 power generators of varying capacities to prepare for the upcoming heating season, the Ministry of Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine said Monday in a press release.
The generators were provided to the Dnipropetrovs'k, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv regions by the European Union (EU) through the block’s Civil Protection Mechanism and with assistance from the Polish foreign ministry, as per the statement.
The generators will be used to ensure uninterrupted power supply to social and healthcare institutions, and other critical infrastructure facilities in case of blackouts.
"The implementation of this project is an example of successful cooperation between central and local authorities and international partners to support the civilian population affected by the war," the ministry said.
Earlier this month, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the EU had sent more than 10,000 generators and transformers to Ukraine since the Russian invasion of February 2022.
