The US Government and the European Commission are donating €106.6 million ($112 million) in equipment and building materials to DTEK, providing vital support to an energy system shattered by ongoing russian missile and drone attacks – the latest on 17th November.
DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko on his X account:
"Today we have announced €107 million in support from the European Commission and United States Government. We are deeply grateful for their unwavering support, and the leadership of the Ministry of Energy in delivering this vital aid. No country in modern times has faced such an onslaught against its energy system, but with the help of our partners, we continue to stand strong against russia’s energy terror. This support is an acknowledgment of DTEK systemically important role in keeping Ukraine powered and our rapid efforts to restore thousands of megawatts of electricity."
