This includes 100 million euros from frozen russian assets in Europe.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wrote about this on X.

Von der Leyen will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on September 20 to discuss strengthening EU support for Ukraine. She said this during a briefing on Ukraine’s energy security as the heating season approaches.

The President of the European Commission said that russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s energy system have destroyed about half of the country’s power plants. This is like killing the power systems of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia all at once.

Since the invasion, the EU has given Ukraine about 2 billion euros in energy support. Ukraine got over 10,000 generators and transformers through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.
