Denmark provides EUR 16 million to Ukraine for energy recovery

The Danish government will allocate 130 million Danish kroner (more than 16 million euros) to support Ukraine's energy system, which has been and is undergoing Russian attacks.

This was announced on Monday, 23 September, by Lars Aagaard, Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities of Denmark.

Denmark's new contribution to support the Ukrainian energy system is one of the largest from this country. It was announced during a meeting within the Group of Seven working group on Ukraine's energy security.

‘Putin's army is not only crossing Ukrainian borders, Russia is violating the rules of war with its massive attacks on the Ukrainian electricity and heat supply system,’ the Danish minister said.

The Danish assistance is funded under a programme of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and will, among other things, contribute to the implementation of emergency measures, procurement of equipment and spare parts to support the restoration of security of supply.
