Germany will provide an additional €100 million to Ukraine’s Energy Support Fund to help repair infrastructure damaged by Russian attacks, the Ukrainian Ministry of Energy announced.
The new German funding comes as Kyiv works to stabilize an energy system under constant pressure.
Russia is again targeting Ukraine’s power grid as temperatures drop, repeating the winter strike pattern seen in past years. Regular drone and missile attacks are hitting power plants, substations, and even targeting repair crews, forcing Ukraine to rely more on foreign support to keep electricity and heat running.
Germany now largest donor with €550 million
The funding comes through the German development bank KfW and brings Germany’s total contribution to the fund to €550 million by the end of 2025, making it the largest donor.
Deputy Energy Minister Roman Andarak said the support is vital for keeping Ukraine’s energy system operational amid ongoing attacks.
He noted the funds will allow energy companies to quickly purchase equipment needed to restore damaged facilities, while ensuring transparency remains a priority in cooperation with international partners.
German Economy Minister Katharina Reiche emphasized that energy infrastructure has become a frontline in the conflict. She said the new contribution demonstrates Germany’s commitment to helping Ukraine maintain electricity and heat for civilians.
International partners pledge over €1.75 billion
Since February 2022, international partners have pledged more than €1.75 billion to the Energy Support Fund, reflecting how central energy security has become to Ukraine’s wider defense effort.
