A Ukrainian official has asked people to donate heaters and generators to Ukraine, which is still without power as a result of Russian strikes on energy facilities.
“Best support for Ukraine today, aside from weapons, is autonomous electricity & heat sources,” said Ministry of Internal Affairs Adviser Anton Gerashchenko on Twitter.

If you have a generator you don’t or rarely use – please consider gifting it to 🇺🇦. We have a difficult winter ahead but we will prevail
Please contact 🇺🇦 embassy in your country for this

“If you have a generator you don’t or rarely use – please consider gifting it to Ukraine. We have a difficult winter ahead but we will prevail.”
In recent weeks, the Kremlin has attacked Ukraine’s critical infrastructure with wave after wave of air strikes – leaving people without electricity, heat, and water.
On Monday, large parts of Kyiv were cut off from power and water supplies after Russian strikes hit critical infrastructure in the capital, Kharkiv, and other cities.
The series of attacks appeared to be an apparent retaliation for what Moscow alleged was a Ukrainian attack on its Black Sea Fleet over the weekend.
Mr Geraschenko added that those who want to donate them should contact their Ukrainian embassy.
