🌍 An emergency meeting of the “Energy Ramstein” was held in the G7+ format. Substantial assistance packages were announced, and since the beginning of the year, partners have mobilised a total of €500 million for Ukraine’s energy sector through this format.

🇩🇪 The Government of Germany has transferred two cogeneration thermal power plants to Ukraine as part of its winter energy support package. These facilities will soon make it possible to provide heat and electricity to approximately 86,000 residents of Kyiv.

🇨🇿 The Government of the Czech Republic has decided to send generators to Ukraine worth $490,000. In addition, the Dárek pro Putina initiative raised more than $3.8 million for energy assistance to Ukraine in just a few days.

🇱🇹 Lithuania decided to provide Ukraine more than 90 generators worth over €2 million.

🇦🇺 Australia announced approximately $7 million in support of Ukraine’s energy resilience.

🇱🇺 Luxembourg has decided to transfer 33 generators with capacities of 6, 45, and 80 kW.

🇵🇱 The “Warmth from Poland for Kyiv” campaign raised over €2 million. The Ukrainian aid charity “Oberih” sent a 13 kW GenPower generator from Poland to the Kyiv Social Assistance Centre, along with several battery units.

🇺🇦 Over the past few days, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, together with the Spouses of Ukrainian Diplomats Association delivered 32 generators to frontline military units, medical facilities, a children’s rehabilitation centre, an animal shelter, a church, and communities in various Ukrainian cities.

We also thank everyone who continues to support and take part in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine’s “Warmth for Ukraine” initiative!

Lithuania continues to demonstrate its strong and invaluable support with the delivery of NASAMS to Ukraine. 🇺🇦👏💙💛🙏🇱🇹

#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost . . . Lithuania has delivered National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS) to Ukraine, the Lithuanian Defense Ministry announced on Nov. 10.

"One more delivery from Lithuania has reached Ukrainian soil," the Defense Ministry posted on X.

The system has been in service with Ukrainian forces since November 2022, when the U.S. delivered the first batteries amid the escalating Russian airstrikes.

NASAMS has a maximum range of up to 50 kilometers and is particularly valuable for Ukraine as it uses the AIM-120 AMRAAM interceptor missile, which is the same missile used in air-to-air function in Western fighter jets.

The delivery of the missile systems also included "all necessary equipment and SUV's for NASAMS crew," the Lithuanian Defense Ministry said.

The ministry thanked the Norwegian government "for donating a part of the additional equipment."

Lithuania announced on Oct. 11 that it would deliver two NASAMS anti-air systems to Ukraine "in the near future" as part of the country's new security assistance package.

Lithuania has already provided close to one billion euros in military, financial, humanitarian, and reconstruction support as of July 2023. It is the largest contributor worldwide in terms of the percentage of its GDP.

"U.S. support for Israel's security ‘will remain ironclad,' [and] the U.S. 'will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.'” ~ U.S. Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin 🇺🇸🇺🇦💙💛🇮🇱🇺🇸

#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost . . . U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced the delivery of a new $200 million package of military support for Ukraine on Oct. 11.

The package includes AIM-9 munitions for a "new air defense system" soon to be delivered to Ukraine, as well as artillery and rocket ammunition, precision aerial munitions, anti-tank weapons, and equipment to counter Russian drones, Austin said.

The announcement came at the 16th Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Brussels, which was also attended by President Volodymyr Zelensky for the first time in person, among other NATO officials and international partners.

Austin addressed concerns that the U.S. would have difficulty supporting allies Israel and Ukraine simultaneously. He declared that U.S. support for Israel's security "will remain ironclad," but also that the U.S. "will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes."

As winter approaches, Austin stressed that Ukraine's primary needs are strengthening air defense and securing more ammunition. The latest round of support was aimed at addressing those specific issues.

In addition, Austin added that he wanted to see more forward-thinking from Ukraine's allies about how to help achieve long-term goals. After successful coalition building on specific platforms, such as the procurement of Leopard tanks, Austin said the next steps should be coalition building on wider capabilities.

This latest package puts the total support from the U.S. at almost $44 billion since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

Despite the U.S.'s considerable commitment, Austin noted that more than 12 of the coalition's 50 partners had already donated a higher percentage of their GDP than the U.S.

"Unity will remain the beating heart of this coalition," he emphasized in his concluding remarks.
