Denmark allocates $ 5.8 million to restore Ukraine’s power grid

The Danish government announced the allocation of 40 million Danish kroner (about $5.8 million) to the Energy Support Fund for Ukraine, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported.

Russia has intensified attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure recently. On 22 March, during a large-scale attack on Ukrainian energy facilities, Russia struck the largest hydroelectric power station in Ukraine – the Dnipro Hydroelectric Station in Zaporizhzhia. According to the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Denys Shmyhal, 80% of Ukraine’s thermal power generation has been destroyed due to Russia’s massive missile attacks in recent weeks.

“Thanks to the new contribution of 40 million Danish kroner, Denmark is helping to ensure the electricity supply – and thus access to water and heat for the population during the next winter,” the statement reads.

Ukraine’s press service of the Ministry of Energy also confirmed the information following the meeting of the relevant Minister, Herman Halushchenko, with Lars Aagaard, Danish Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities, who arrived in Kyiv on an official visit on 8 April.

Met with minister @G_Galushchenko to pay my respects to the Ukranian people and to discuss our energy cooperation.
Important to confirm our support today and tomorrow .
