Estonia Sends €2 Million and Equipment to Bolster Ukraine’s Power Grid

Overview

• Estonia’s new €2 million contribution is routed through the Energy Support Fund to meet urgent needs of Ukrainian energy companies.
• Estonian energy firms have shipped generators, transformers and other critical equipment, with further donations under review.
• Energy Minister Andres Sutt described Estonia’s backing as consistent and long-term, calling energy a matter of survival for Ukraine.
• Ukraine’s Energy Ministry recorded 4,500 attacks on energy infrastructure this year, and strikes on December 23 left parts of Rivne, Ternopil and Khmelnytskyi largely without power.
• Estonia previously gave €620,000 to the fund, which has received €1.44 billion in total contributions from participating countries.
