The generators, drawn from the EU's emergency reserves in Poland, range from small ones (12.5 kVA) to large ones (1,000 kVA) capable of supplying entire hospitals in the event of a power outage. The cost of the 500 generators being sent to Ukraine is €16.5 million.
Earlier, the German Federal Government started implementing another aid package for Ukraine worth €6.1 million, which includes generators, heaters and tents.
Switzerland’s Federal Council has pledged an additional CHF 11.8 million (€12.5 million) to help Ukrainians through the winter.
