Details: The assistance was provided by international partners – Poland, Lithuania, Czechia, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the Ukrainian Red Cross Society and its Kyiv regional branch, as well as humanitarian organisations and charitable foundations.

The generators have already been installed at critical infrastructure facilities, including boiler houses, water utilities, hospitals, schools, kindergartens and invincibility centres.

Mykola Kalashnyk, Head of Kyiv Oblast Military Administration, provided several examples.

In Boryspil, a generator supplied by Poland has been installed at a boiler house that provides heating for a school, a vocational college, a kindergarten and an entire residential area of 28 apartment buildings. Another generator in the city powers a water utility well.

"A separate example is Vorzel. Here, a generator provided by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine is operating at a school and supplies electricity to the educational facility, a modular settlement for people who lost their homes, and a boiler house," Kalashnyk said.

Background: Amid regular Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, Pope Leo XIV organised the delivery of 80 electric generators to Ukraine, along with medicines and food supplies.
