Denmark Provides €7 Million for Ukraine's Energy Support Fund
Denmark will transfer seven million euros to the Energy Support Fund for Ukraine. It is expected that the funds will be used to purchase equipment for the restoration of the energy infrastructure affected by Russian attacks.
This information is stated on the official portal of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine.
According to the statement, Denmark will initially contribute four million euros, with the remaining three million to follow later.
"During the war, the Ukrainian-Danish energy partnership played an important role in the urgent repair and development of decentralised generation. We appreciate the assistance of the Danish Government and the entire nation, and we are confident in deepening our cooperation to ensure further restoration and modernisation of the Ukrainian energy sector," said German Galushchenko, the head of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine.
In turn, Denmark's Minister of Climate, Energy, and Utilities, Lars Ogør, emphasized that his country will continue to assist Ukraine in its resistance to Russian aggression. Specifically, the support will focus on energy sector security.
It is worth noting that Denmark became the first sponsor country of the Fund, making a contribution of approximately 536 thousand euros. These funds were spent on purchasing energy equipment for 10 Ukrainian energy companies.
