Japan to implement Emergency Grant Aid for winterization assistance in Ukraine
On November 22, the Government of Japan decided to provide Ukraine with grant aid in the form of generators and solar-powered lamps worth USD 2.57 million
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan informed on the decision on its official website.
According to the ministry’s statement, the Government of Japan will implement the aid for Ukraine through the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
“The large-scale blackout has occurred in various areas of Ukraine caused by destruction of a large part of energy infrastructure facilities by Russia’s attacks. While the winter gets colder and days get shorter every day in Ukraine, the aid has significant importance as winterization support for those who cannot use heating facilities and lighting equipment due to the blackout. The Government of Japan will continue to provide support for and stand by the people of Ukraine who are facing hardship, in collaboration with the international community, including the G7 members,” the ministry added.
