The Association of Municipalities in Romania launches a call to the local authorities nationwide to offer generators and heating energy equipment to Ukraine, according to Agerpres.
„We are calling on local authorities in Romania to provide generators and other heating energy equipment to Ukraine. Russia’s war against Ukraine has forced millions of Ukrainians to leave their homes, destroyed hundreds of towns and villages and continues to devastate regions of Ukraine. The electrical grid covers only 70% of the necessary consumption, leaving millions of people without electricity and water, in a period with very low temperatures. The President of the Association of Municipalities in Romania, Mr. Emil Boc, together with the mayors of municipalities, are calling on all local authorities from Romania to continue to provide emergency aid and join the collective initiative at the European level by supplying generators and any other energy equipment for heating,” the Association of Municipalities in Romania shows in a release on Tuesday.
According to the quoted source, the local authorities in Ukraine also need minibuses and buses, which will alleviate the effects felt by pupils, students and other citizens, thus allowing Ukraine to survive this winter.
„The involvement of municipalities in such actions is already an example of good practices at the national level, since they have been providing humanitarian/material support since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine. Although the aid given to Ukraine, until now, has been impressive, the violent attacks on the electrical infrastructure have made Ukraine reach a critical situation, requiring a collective effort of all local and central authorities in the European Union to allocate the resources necessary for the survival of Ukraine. We are convinced that the local administrations in Romania will continue to demonstrate solidarity, availability, in support of a just cause and that our appeal will once again show the power of local communities,” the press release reads.
