The Ukraine Energy Support Fund (UESF) has reached €629 million, including a €96 million contribution from the EU, aimed at addressing urgent energy needs as Ukraine faces its third winter of war. Concurrently, Germany's Development Ministry is providing an additional €70 million to enhance heating and electricity supplies, which will fund small thermal power stations and solar energy systems in Ukrainian municipalities. This aid is crucial as Russian attacks have severely damaged 80% of Ukraine's energy infrastructure, with President Zelensky reporting complete destruction of thermal plants and significant loss of hydroelectric capacity. The UESF is recognized as an effective mechanism for delivering vital support directly on the ground. Both the Energy Community and German officials emphasize the need for immediate and increased support to help Ukraine withstand the winter challenges. The international community is urged to contribute to the UESF to provide hope and resilience to Ukraine amidst ongoing aggression.
