"As attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure intensify, this decision represents a significant step in efforts to restore the energy systems damaged by the conflict. Italy's contribution is one of the largest from a single country and will help stabilize electricity supplies for millions of war-affected Ukrainians during this challenging time," the ministry's website states.
It is noted that these funds serve as a testament to Italy's solidarity and ongoing support for the Ukrainian energy sector, which continues to face attacks. They will enable the fund to "quickly provide the country with the essential equipment needed to restore energy supply."
