The United States government has contributed equipment and generators to the city of Kyiv in order to assist in strengthening the city’s power infrastructure.

The mayor of Ukraine’s capital, Vitali Klitschko, said Kyiv “received machinery and generators from the U.S. Government to operate boiler houses and heat supply stations.”

According to statements made by Klitschko on Telegram, the Energy Security Project, which is managed by USAID, has supplied four excavators and more than 130 generators in order to assist Ukraine in the process of rebuilding its energy infrastructure. There was no cost associated with any of the equipment.

The excavators “have already been delivered and will be soon put to work,” the mayor added.

The new equipment, will allow authorities “to quickly and efficiently perform soil excavation, and thus accelerate the performance of emergency works,” he said.

The generators were distributed to facilities such as boiler buildings, combined heat and power plants, and heat supply stations.

“11 kilometers of heating networks damaged by rocket attacks were replaced this year,” Klitschko added.
