More than 60 ambassadors and representatives of foreign states and international organizations visited Kyiv’s Darnytska Thermal Power Plant (TPP), which suffered heavy damage from Russian attacks, Vice Prime Minister for Reconstruction and Minister of Communities and Territories Development Oleksiy Kuleba reported, according to UATV English.
“Today, over 60 ambassadors and international representatives saw the destruction at Darnytska TPP in Kyiv, which was subjected to massive Russian strikes. This is critical civilian infrastructure—not a military target. The plant provides heat to residential buildings, hospitals, and schools, serving hundreds of thousands of Kyiv residents,” Kuleba wrote on Telegram.
He emphasized that the attack was deliberate and occurred during severe cold, when heat is a matter of basic survival. International partners were able to witness firsthand the real consequences of attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and the daily challenges faced by emergency crews. While specialists work around the clock to restore damaged networks, the state continues to strengthen the resilience of the energy system.
Since the start of 2026, Ukraine has received significant international support for winter humanitarian and energy projects, including:
- USA – over $400 million
- Norway – $400 million, partly for energy support
- UK – nearly €23 million to the Energy Support Fund
- EU – about 450 generators
- Germany – €60 million and additional equipment
- Italy – €10 million to the Energy Support Fund, with €50 million in the 2026 budget
- Netherlands – €23 million for the energy sector
- Denmark – €20 million for energy support
- France – over 100 generators
- Japan – 140 generators, 60 transformers, and 2 cogeneration units
- Lithuania – 90 generators
This visit highlighted both the scale of the Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure and the broad international assistance supporting Ukraine’s energy resilience.
