Kyiv region receives first batch of generators from Poland
The Kyiv region has received a batch of assistance from Poland, including 35 generators of various capacities and 18 oil-filled heaters. This is part of a large-scale support program. In total, 379 generators are to be delivered to the region by the end of January.
That is according to the Ministry for Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.
"The transfer of the first batch took place today, on January 29. Participants included Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration and Minister for Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine Oleksii Kuleba, Charge d'Affaires ad interim of the Republic of Poland in Ukraine Piotr Lukasiewicz, Deputy Minister for Communities and Territories Development Artem Rybchenko, and Head of the Kyiv Regional State Administration Mykola Kalashnyk," the statement said.
The Kyiv region has been under constant threat of Russian attacks since the first days of the full-scale war. For this reason, the development of alternative energy sources and backup power supply is one of the region's key priorities.
"Each unit of such equipment means light, warmth, and safety for people. Poland remains a reliable partner of Ukraine, supporting us not on a one-off basis, but systematically. A decision has already been made to procure an additional ten high-capacity generators, and the funds for this have been allocated," Kuleba said.
According to him, the received equipment will help ensure the stable operation of critical infrastructure, including water, heat, and electricity supply.
Kuleba thanked the Government of Poland, the Embassy of Poland in Ukraine, and all partners involved in providing assistance for their consistent support of Ukraine during its most difficult moments.
As reported, Ukraine has received the first batch of energy equipment from Germany as part of a winter emergency support package.
