Lithuania has decided to transfer additional energy equipment to Ukraine to support and restore infrastructure damaged by Russian attacks. This was announced on November 11 by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after a meeting with Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda in Dublin.
According to Zelenskyy, during the talks the parties discussed assistance to Ukrainian energy sector and logistical support. The president emphasized the difficult situation in many Ukrainian cities due to Russian strikes on infrastructure.
"It is currently very difficult in many cities of Ukraine, and we understand which facilities may become targets of new Russian attacks. Lithuania will provide part of the necessary equipment. The decision has been made, and we expect the supplies", - said Zelenskyy.
The president did not specify the exact list of equipment, its cost, or delivery dates.
Lithuania has repeatedly transferred energy equipment to Ukraine, including from decommissioned plants. One of the largest projects was the transfer of equipment from Vilnius Combined Heat and Power Plant 3, whose main operations were halted back in 2015.
In December 2025, the European Commission announced the completion of transportation of the thermal power plant equipment to Ukraine. The operation lasted 11 months and became the largest logistics operation coordinated by the European Commission. The transferred equipment was used for emergency repairs of Ukrainian energy facilities.
Assistance continued in 2026 as well. In early October, Ukraine received over 253 tons of energy equipment from Lithuania for restoration and maintenance of critical infrastructure operations.
The new agreement with Lithuania provides for further supply of necessary equipment to Ukrainian energy workers amid the threat of renewed Russian strikes.
