Overview
- Ottawa accelerated the final portion of its $70 million commitment to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund on October 31.
- An initial $10 million was disbursed early to repair critical energy infrastructure damaged by Russian strikes.
- Approximately $50 million of the pledge has been allocated to purchase and deliver natural gas compressors for the Kharkiv region.
