Helping Ukraine to Keep Energy Infrastructure Functional and Secure
Helping Ukraine to Keep Energy Infrastructure Functional and Secure
It has been two years and counting since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The U.S. government, through USAID ESP, continues to stand with Ukraine and our national and local partners, including energy companies, to provide critical supplies of electricity, gas, heat, and hot water to people throughout Ukraine.
In February 2024, the U.S. Government reaffirmed its commitment to bolster Ukraine in the face of Russia’s attacks. This followed a historic agreement between the Governments of the U.S. and Ukraine to improve energy sector resilience, including $422 million in new energy assistance. Throughout this war, USAID ESP is honored to continue leading the charge, expanding collaborations with Ukrainian Government partners and energy and electricity utilities to prepare for the coming winter (2024-2025) and further strengthen energy sector resiliency and stability.
