The Swedish government has decided to donate 13 diesel generators to Ukraine, which belong to Svenska kraftnät, the Scandinavian country's electricity transmission system operator.
According to Yevropeiska Pravda, this was reported on the Swedish government's website.
These are 13 diesel backup generators that were to be replaced in 2024 according to Svenska kraftnät's maintenance plan.
Instead of throwing away the generators or storing them in a spare parts warehouse, they decided to transfer them to Ukraine.
“The Russian attacks on the energy supply in Ukraine have been very large-scale, and the next winter will be difficult. The fact that Svenska kraftnät is now transferring 13 backup diesel generators will be of great importance,” said Swedish Energy Minister Ebba Busch.
The generators will be able to provide electricity to hospitals or be used in the power grid to help it better cope with interruptions, said Bush.
