Igor Terekhov, the Mayor of the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, and Maksym Kozytskyy, the Head of the Administration of the western city of Lviv, on Monday extended their gratitude to the Georgian Government for the latter’s delivery of power generators to Ukraine to help with uninterrupted operation of critical civilian infrastructure during the ongoing conflict. 

In a letter sent to the Georgian foreign office, the municipalities of Kharkiv and Lviv said they were “grateful” for the humanitarian assistance provided at the initiative of the Georgian Prime Minister, noting the aid was of “significant help” in overcoming the challenges posed by power cuts and destruction of infrastructure by Russian airstrikes and other combat action.

The letter also noted the generators had been distributed among critical infrastructure utilities of the local administrations to “ensure the functioning of the city under the most difficult conditions [by] supplying electricity to medical facilities, pumping stations, water supply facilities, and city boilers”.

The Head of the Lviv District Military Administration noted the generators provided by the Georgian Government would not only improve the situation in terms of providing facilities with electricity, but would also help solve problems related to the winter period.

With our deep gratitude, we sincerely wish the Georgian people peace and prosperity. May this year be successful, fruitful, filled with positive emotions and new achievements”, Maksym Kozytskyy said.

The Georgian Embassy in Ukraine handed over 25 power generators to authorities in the country, in the latest aid package sent from Georgia amid the ongoing military conflict, earlier this month.

The “high-power” generators were purchased for delivery to Ukraine on the instructions of the Georgian Prime Minister, and were delivered to Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Lviv and Kyiv regions, as well as the capital itself.
