Lithuania to allocate aid to Ukraine for restoration of energy system
17 January 18:24
Lithuania is preparing a new government decision to provide Ukraine with assistance in the energy sector. Equipment will be delivered to address problems in regions where the electricity situation is most critical.
This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian", citing a post by Ukrainian Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal.
Shmyhal said that he had spoken with Lithuanian Energy Minister Žygimantas Vaičiūnas. During the full-scale invasion, Lithuania provided Ukraine with a large amount of aid, including sets of equipment for thermal power plants and nuclear power plants.
“In addition, we have already received more than 2,000 solar panels, various equipment, and technology from our Lithuanian friends. Lithuania has contributed €5.7 million to the Ukrainian Energy Support Fund,” the minister added.
Shmyhal also said that he had informed Vaičunas about the situation in the Ukrainian energy sector. Currently, there is not a single power plant in Ukraine that has not been affected by Russia’s terrorist attacks.
“Lithuania is preparing a government decision in the coming days to allocate additional energy aid. In particular, equipment for generating electricity to solve problems in Kyiv and the most critical regions,” Shmyhal assured.
Meanwhile, the Russian terrorist regime is considering options for striking nuclear power plant substations to force Ukraine to sign capitulation demands to end the war. The Kremlin plans to leave Ukrainians completely without light and heat, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense.
President Volodymyr Zelensky also confirmed that Ukrainian intelligence has information about Russia’s preparations for new strikes on Ukraine’s energy sector and infrastructure.
Earlier, on the evening of January 14, Zelensky announced that due to the severe consequences of Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, a decision is planned to be made to introduce a state of emergency in the energy sector.
