Spain's Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares participated on 4 February in a ceremony of handing several high-capacity generators over to Ukraine's Ambassador to Spain Yuliia Sokolovska.

Details: The generators are being provided through the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID).
Spain's Foreign Ministry said that Russian attacks had led to the loss of 70% of Ukraine's energy capacity.
It said strikes on energy infrastructure intensified from the second half of 2025, affecting the whole country including its capital, the city of Kyiv.
Power cuts nationwide currently last between 12 and 16 hours, while winter temperatures fall to –20°C each day.
Quote from Albares: "In light of this dramatic situation, we reiterate that Spain will continue to support the people and Government of Ukraine. Today we have come to Arganda del Rey to deliver six generators that will be able to supply energy to more than 14,000 people."
More details: Albares said that AECID bought the generators for immediate delivery to Ukraine through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.
The generators will be used to support the most important infrastructure facilities, which have been severely affected by attacks on the Ukrainian power system.
Albares said this was not Spain's first delivery aimed at meeting Ukraine's energy needs.
Quote: "Just three months ago, in October 2025, in anticipation of a cold winter, we sent 70 smaller generators. We did the same at the beginning of 2025 and in previous years. However, in view of the unprecedented attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, this is the largest shipment in terms of combined power to date."
More details: In total, the generators will provide 6.3 MW of power.
Background:
- Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said earlier that the capital received new humanitarian aid from France.
- It also became known on Tuesday that the staff of Lithuania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs are raising funds to buy generators for Ukraine.
