Lithuanian Power Plant Being Dismantled for Transfer to Ukraine, Says Von der Leyen

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that a heat and power plant in Lithuania is being gradually transferred to Ukraine.

She announced this at a press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on September 20.

"Currently, an entire heat and power plant in Lithuania is being dismantled and transferred to Ukraine in parts," von der Leyen stated.

Speaking about support for the Ukrainian energy sector, EU President mentioned that the EU has provided €2 billion and member states are also offering material support, including 10,000 transformers and generators.

"There will be even more. Yesterday, I announced a support package of nearly €160 million for repairs and the provision of emergency winter equipment," she said.

Part of this funding comes from frozen Russian assets.
