Israel’s Embassy in Ukraine has donated 17 electricity generators to the war-torn nation as it suffers from widespread power cuts.
According to the Foreign Ministry, the embassy transferred the generators to the Kherson region in southeast Ukraine, which has been hard-hit by the war. The generators were funded by Mashav, a state-funded humanitarian group.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry says the generators will power hospitals and water infrastructure in the region.
“There is special significance to donating generators during Hanukkah,” says Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine Michael Brodsky. “We are helping to bring light back to the homes of Ukrainians and helping the Ukrainian people in this difficult and dark period.”
