Thus, she noted that cogeneration units provided by USAID helped provide heat and water to thousands of people in Volyn, Khmelnytskyi and Rivne oblasts.
Background:
- On the night of 27-28 November, Russia launched a large-scale combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine's energy sector. Ukrainian air defence units destroyed 76 cruise missiles, three air-to-surface missiles and 35 drones out of 188 Russian aerial assets.
- In early October, the United States, through the USAID, provided Ukraine with a batch of supplies to protect its energy infrastructure.
- On 29 November, reports indicate that with the support of USAID, the UNICEF Children's Fund provided a boiler house to a rural hromada in Kharkiv Oblast. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories - ed.]
