UKRAINE, Nov. 11 — The Ukraine Energy Support Fund received €25 million from Ireland, reported the Energy Ministry of Ukraine. In total, Ireland contributed €52 million to the fund; the money is used to buy equipment for repairs, restore damaged energy infrastructure, and increase power generation capacity in the country. 

“Our partners’ support, again and again, helps us restore electricity after Russian strikes and bring light back to the homes of millions of Ukrainian families, schools, hospitals, and businesses,” the Energy Ministry said. 

In October, Germany contributed €249,7 million, Malta donated €50,000, and a Hungarian company, REKK, allocated €3,000 to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund. 

Ukraine also received over 4,700 units of energy equipment from foreign allies in 2026, including generators, transformers, modular boilers, cogeneration units, and so on.  

Last week, Russian airstrikes hit Ukraine’s energy facilities over 128 times. Right now, both Kharkiv and Kharkiv region’s settlements experience emergency power outages.
