According to him, Italy has already started delivering industrial boilers of high power (from 550 to 3000 KW) for a total amount of 1.85 million euros, which will help the most affected communities.

On January 12, the Norwegian government announced an emergency aid package of 340 million euros to Ukraine to support the energy sector and help Ukrainian authorities maintain critical services.
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Russia has been striking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Since the beginning of the fall of 2025, Russian forces have intensified their attacks on the Ukrainian energy industry.
The Security Service of Ukraine qualifies Russia’s strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure as crimes against humanity. The SBU noted that since the beginning of this year’s heating season, it has documented 256 air attacks by the Russian Federation on energy facilities and heat supply systems of Ukraine.
Recently, a particularly difficult situation with energy and heat supply has developed in Kyiv. After the Russian strike on January 9, emergency shutdowns continue. Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said that this Russian attack was the most painful for the city’s critical infrastructure. He emphasized that the situation is the most difficult in four years.
