The European Union has transferred an additional €30 million to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, raising its total contribution to the mechanism to €279 million, First Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal wrote on Telegram.
The transfer is the latest in a series of contributions to the fund from Ukraine's partners. Luxembourg also added funds to the same mechanism recently, and Denmark contributed more than €10 million, European Pravda reported.
What the funding supports
In his Telegram post, Shmyhal described how the fund is used:
"The funds coming in through this financial instrument help us restore the energy infrastructure damaged by Russian attacks, purchase critically needed equipment for our energy companies, and ensure a reliable energy supply, above all for critical infrastructure," Shmyhal wrote.
