Conflicts - Saxony supports Ukrainian region during the winter months
Saxony is supporting the Ukrainian region of Kharkiv over the coming months in maintaining vital infrastructure and providing for internally displaced persons. As the State Chancellery announced in Dresden on Thursday, the winter aid is worth around 100,000 euros and is part of Saxony's recurring humanitarian support for Ukraine. Specifically, this time three minibuses and eleven generators were sent on their way to the eastern Ukrainian region of Kharkiv.
"Saxony has stood by the Ukrainians since the beginning of the war of aggression. Since February 2022, we have sent numerous relief supplies to Ukrainian regions in need. Each time we hope that this terrible war will end soon," explained State Chancellery Head Oliver Schenk (CDU). Kharkiv is the main arrival point for people from the embattled Donbass region. Supplying the internally displaced persons and the acute threat to the energy supply are two of the biggest challenges on the ground, he said.
Saxony and the Kharkiv region are planning closer cooperation in future. The minibuses will be used to ensure the transportation and evacuation of internally displaced persons at risk of death, as the entire fleet of vehicles in the region has been severely damaged by bomb attacks. The generators would be used in hospitals, among other places.

Saxony's humanitarian aid to Ukraine, worth approximately 100,000 euros, is being used in Dresden to organize the shipment of three minibuses and eleven generators to the conflict-affected region of Kharkiv. Due to ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, particularly in the Donbass region, Kharkiv has become a crucial arrival point for internally displaced persons. Saxony's ongoing support for Ukraine includes assistance in maintaining the region's infrastructure during the winter months.
Saxony's commitment to Ukraine dates back to the beginning of the war of aggression in February 2022, with numerous relief supplies sent to various regions in need. As State Chancellery Head Oliver Schenk (CDU) stated, they hope for an end to the war soon, but in the meantime, they are focusing on providing aid and support to those affected.
The close collaboration between Saxony and the Kharkiv region is essential for addressing the ongoing challenges faced by internally displaced persons and ensuring the provision of essential services, such as transportation and energy supply. Saxony's assistance in supplying hospitals and other critical facilities with power through the generators aligns with its broader support for rebuilding and maintaining Ukraine's infrastructure during the harsh winter months.
