Quote: "I had a conversation with the Minister of Energy of Lithuania. They actually proposed using their closed thermal power plants as donors, which means the opportunity to dismantle and obtain the parts we need," he said.

Background:

• Ukraine needs to strengthen its air defence systems to protect energy facilities from missile attacks by Russia, in order to prevent power outages in the summer when electricity consumption approaches winter peak levels. 
• Ukrainians are likely to face power outages and consumption restrictions during the summer. 
• Lithuania is ready to deliver equipment for the restoration and repair of Ukraine's energy facilities.
