€30 million investment into the Ukraine Energy Support Fund
The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy announced in a recently released press release on their website that they plan to invest another €30 million into the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, through which spare parts and equipment for destroyed energy infrastructure in Ukraine is being financed.
The German government has already provided around €400 million for this fund, making Germany by far the largest contributor worldwide. Once the necessary internal steps have been completed, this sum will continue to grow with the provision of new funding.
