The war in Ukraine is leaving hundreds of thousands of families and businesses without energy supply. This means no electricity, heating, hot water and hot food. The winter temperature in Ukraine can drop to as low as -15°C. Ukrainian Energy Infrastructure needs support - around 30% of energy Infrastructure has been destroyed by Russian targeted drone campaign. Donations of emergency energy equipment, fuels and funds are urgently needed to repair damaged infrastructure and restore energy supply.
