That is why we are supporting Ukraine in protecting and rebuilding its energy infrastructure and are calling on all international partners to make further efforts,&#8221; said Economy Minister Katherina Reiche.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Support for Ukraine is being provided in collaboration with the German business community, she explained. &#8220;Thanks to their donations of energy supplies, 1.4 million people have already had their energy supply restored. At the same time, we are mobilizing private investment for the reconstruction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Russia has repeatedly bombed Ukraine&#8217;s power stations and energy grids. Last winter, millions of people in the capital, Kiev, were without heating and had barely any electricity for weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to the ministry, the Ukraine Energy Support Fund has raised around \u20ac2.4 billion from international donors since the war began four and a half years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With a contribution of \u20ac810 million to date, Germany is the fund&#8217;s largest contributor, with aid channelled through the KfW development bank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Germany is contributing a further \u20ac250 million ($290 million) towards the costs of urgent repair work on Ukraine&#8217;s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36906,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[12836,12837,1903,12645,12835],"class_list":["post-36905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-e250-million","tag-e810-million","tag-energy","tag-german","tag-katherina-reiche"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36905"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36905\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
