Additionally, international partners are directing aid to other communities in the region, particularly to support vulnerable populations. These households will receive solid fuel in kind or financial assistance for its purchase.
According to the information, there are over 6,000 such households, with about 4,500 located in communities bordering Russia and nearly 1,000 on the border with Belarus.
This initiative aims to support residents of border areas during the energy crisis and provide them with the necessary resources for heating during the winter months.
