23.The funding comes as Russia continues to target Ukrainian energy infrastructure, testing Ukrainians' resolve as they endure another harsh winter. Earlier this month, Russia carried out one of its largest attacks on Ukraine's electric grid, with 90 missiles and 200 drones again targeted Ukraine's thermal power plants.Anti-drone shelters will be constructed with the funding to protect electricity transmission equipment and make Ukraine's energy grid more reliable and resilient, the EIB said."This €86 million investment is an important step in fortifying Ukraine’s energy infrastructure against ongoing military aggression. By supporting Ukrenergo in constructing protective anti-drone shelters, we aim to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of electricity across the country," EIB Vice-President Teresa Czerwinska said in a statement.The investment marks the first measures in the EIB's Ukraine Energy Rescue Plan after being adopted in October, which is slated to up to 600 million euros ($624 million) in financing for emergency energy projects across public and private sectors.
