Norway is now providing generators to Ukrainian border guards. Yesterday, during a meeting with a delegation of ministers of the Slovak government, they agreed on the supply of about 300 generators,” – during the meeting of the government, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal.

Generators in Ukraine
On December 2, Shmyhal said that Ukraine expects hundreds of transformers and tens of thousands of generators to arrive and ease the energy supply situation caused by Russian missile attacks on energy infrastructure facilities.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has adopted as a basis bills that exempt generators and some energy equipment necessary for the production of electricity generators in Ukraine from value added tax (VAT) and import duties.
