Lithuania ready to provide Ukraine with transformers, locomotives as part of winter support – PM

Lithuania is ready to provide Ukraine with transformers to support its energy infrastructure during the winter, as well as locomotives, heating equipment and food.

Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevicius said this at a joint press conference with Ukrainian Prime Minister Sergii Koretskyi in Kyiv on Monday, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"What specifically does Lithuania plan to do? Yesterday and today, we discussed that we are ready to provide transformers for your energy infrastructure and assistance with locomotives," he said.

Sinkevicius added that Lithuania wants to continue initiatives providing direct assistance to individuals by supplying heating equipment and food.

"We will think about this not only as a government, but also as Lithuanian society as a whole, which has already held more than one such campaign. I think we will continue to hold such campaigns," he said.

On September 13, the prime ministers of Ukraine and Lithuania discussed further support for Ukraine's energy sector and businesses, including prospects for introducing war-risk insurance, during a meeting in Lutsk.
