Slovakia will allocate 500,000 euros from its official development assistance funds to purchase generators, transformers and energy infrastructure components for Ukraine, which has been affected by Russian missile attacks. The financial contribution, which is in line with the results of joint negotiations between the Slovak and Ukrainian governments in October, was approved by the Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic Juraj Blanar, Plus jeden den reports, citing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The minister noted that, according to available data, about three quarters of Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been destroyed. Therefore, Slovakia is taking real steps to help people in Ukraine.

‘On the basis of commercial supplies, we continue to sell electricity to our eastern neighbour, which is important for the residents. And in addition to the shipment of non-lethal equipment, including Bozena demining systems, as well as universal modifications to excavators and chemical detectors, Slovakia has prepared another batch of energy aid worth half a million euros,’ Blanar explained.

According to the European Commission, due to Russia's daily missile and drone attacks, power outages in Ukraine last eight to 12 hours a day. Current estimates for the upcoming winter suggest an increase to 20 hours a day.

The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) has reported on the serious and long-term consequences of the damage to the energy infrastructure for civilians and civilian infrastructure.

As previously reported by The Gaze, Italy is investing 200 million euros to rebuild Ukraine's power grid, which was destroyed by the Russian war.
