Ukraine will receive more money for the war-torn energy sector before the winter. The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), as well as the EU and the G7 and its partner states („G7+ Group“), recently approved new aid packages. Ukraine’s energy infrastructure is one of the main targets of Putin’s war of aggression. Currently, 80 percent of thermal power plants and more than one-third of hydropower plants have been destroyed. As a result, the Ukrainian Ministry of Energy expects more power outages in the coming winter – an immense challenge for the Ukrainian population.
