Using the logistics hub of the rescEU EU Civil Protection Program, which has already been established in Poland, the European Union will deliver another 1,000 generators and other aid to Ukraine.
Such information was made public on January 26 on the website of the European Commission, Rubryka writes.
The logistics center's main purpose is to deliver electrical generators to Ukraine. They are needed to support the electricity supply systems in the country in conditions where russia is carrying out targeted attacks on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine.
At the same time, devices of different power and purpose will be delivered:
- relatively small generators for individual households,
- more powerful models capable of providing for schools, hospitals, and other public institutions.
European Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarčič and Prime Minister of Poland Mateusz Morawiecki visited and opened the new rescEU energy hub in Poland, which will function as a logistics center for the delivery of emergency energy aid to Ukraine.
The EU allocated €114 million to Poland for the purchase of generators that will become part of the rescEU energy reserve.
As a first step, 1,000 new generators from this reserve in Poland will be delivered to Ukraine, in addition to the 1,400 generators and millions of energy items already provided through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism," the statement said.
It is reported that opening a new logistics center in Poland will enable international partners and representatives of the private sector to direct aid to Ukraine here.
The European Union will cover the costs of delivering aid from the energy hub to Ukraine.
We will remind that since the beginning of russia's aggression in Ukraine, the EU has provided meaningful political, economic, financial, humanitarian, and military assistance to the country.
After russia's missile attacks before winter, the European Union and its member states began supplying Ukraine with spare parts for the repair of energy facilities. And also generators for the power supply of the population.
