EU Allocates Additional Support for Energy
The head of the government emphasized the consistent support for Ukraine’s energy sector from the EU. She announced that a new aid package of 100 million euros has been announced, which will be directed towards strengthening energy resilience and restoring infrastructure.
“Today, a new energy assistance package of €100 million has been announced. Together with the EU, we will work on a new Winter Energy Plan for 2026-2027.”
Svyrydenko highlighted that these funds will make a significant contribution to preparations for the upcoming heating season, especially in light of the ongoing attacks by Russia on Ukraine’s energy system.
EU Support and Challenges for Energy Infrastructure
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation in February 2022, Ukraine has received over 200 billion euros from the EU in the form of military, financial, and humanitarian aid. The Prime Minister also stressed that the country is actively implementing the necessary reforms to advance towards membership in the European Union.
Since the start of the invasion, Russia has systematically targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Since the fall of 2025, attacks on the energy system have only intensified. According to the Security Service of Ukraine, Russian strikes on energy facilities are classified as crimes against humanity. During the current heating season, at least 256 air attacks by Russia on the country’s energy and heat-generating facilities have been recorded.
At the same time, in February, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed that Russia had not initiated attacks on civilian infrastructure, and that Ukraine was the first to strike Russian energy facilities.
