Lithuania has offered to dismantle its closed thermal power plants and transfer spare parts to Ukraine to restore the power system after the Russian attacks.
Ukraine’s Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said during a telethon that he had held talks with the Lithuanian Energy Minister.
They even offered to use their thermal power plants, which are closed. Use them as donors, i.e. disassemble and donate the spare parts we need.

On April 3, the Ministry of Energy announced that Lithuania would supply Ukraine with large-sized units for thermal power plants.
The report states that a group of Ukrainian specialists will soon visit a number of Lithuanian energy facilities to verify the equipment that will be subsequently transferred to the Ukrainian energy sector.
We thank Lithuania for this support. Your help is very important to us. “We have already received two powerful autotransformers and 72 cargoes with other necessary power equipment weighing more than 1,300 tons from the Lithuanian side,” said Galushchenko.
Strikes on Ukraine’s energy system
From March 22 to 29, Russia shelled seven Ukrainian thermal power plants and two hydroelectric power plants.
Some of the destroyed power plants cannot be fully restored until next winter.
DTEK Group lost 80% of its generating capacity. According to DTEK Group’s press service, 5 out of 6 of their TPPs are seriously damaged.
According to the GUR, Russia may launch another 1-2 attacks on Ukraine’s energy system.
