The European Commission announced on Jan. 29 that it will allocate 145 million euros ($173 million) in emergency humanitarian aid to Ukraine as Russian attacks continue to damage energy infrastructure.
An additional 8 million euros ($9.5 million) will go to Moldova to assist Ukrainian refugees.
Alongside financial assistance, the EU has stepped up emergency energy support.
This week, 447 power generators were delivered to help restore electricity at critical facilities, the commission said.
Since launching its full-scale invasion in 2022, Russia has systematically targeted Ukraine's power grid, damaging power plants, substations, and transmission lines.
