The United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced that it would help power 2,500 household generators for civilians in Ukraine who are affected by the ongoing crisis.
The assistance would comprise 2,500 household generators, each with a power output of between 3.5 and 8 kilowatts in order to provide civilians with some of the electricity. The UAE aims to alleviate the suffering of crisis-affected families.
Reem bint Ibrahim Al Hashemy, the Minister of State for International Cooperation, said that the aid was part of the country's continuous efforts to mitigate the suffering of people and humanitarian repercussions of the Ukrainian crisis.
The UAE will transport approximately 1,200 household generators to Warsaw, the capital of Poland. The country would transfer the remaining generators by January 2023. The aid includes the $100 million humanitarian relief aid allocated by the UAE to the Ukrainians affected by the crisis.
The UAE has taken the initiative to help Ukrainians affected by the Russia-Ukraine war in response to the United Nations Ukraine Flash Appeal and the Ukraine Situation Regional Refugee Response.
Earlier, the UAE sent around 360 tonnes of food supplies, medical aid, and ambulances for Ukrainian refugees in Poland, Moldova, and Bulgaria.
The Ukrainians are suffering due to disrupted energy infrastructure that has caused power outages. The power generator would help them survive the harsh winter conditions.
The missile strikes across Ukraine have destroyed homes and knocked out power in some areas amid the winter season.
Earlier, the authorities in Kyiv said that around 70% of the Ukrainian capital was without power due to missile attacks. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said that repeated drone attacks affected the infrastructure in Ukraine.
Last month, Ukraine said that Russian forces fired 67 cruise missiles and 10 drones in a massive attack on residential buildings and energy infrastructure in Kyiv.
