Czech Republic Raises $6 Million for Generators for Ukraine

Czech citizens have raised over $6 million in just five days to purchase generators, heaters, and batteries for Ukraine, which is facing a severe electricity and heating crisis due to Russian attacks on its energy infrastructure. The darekproputina.cz initiative has already raised over €55 million for various Ukrainian needs. Ukrainian engineers are working tirelessly to restore the energy grid, while President Zelenskyy has declared a state of emergency. The European Commission has also announced the dispatch of 447 emergency generators worth €3.7 million. The fundraising effort comes at a critical time, as Ukraine experiences one of the harshest winters in recent years, with temperatures reaching as low as -20 degrees Celsius. The lack of electricity and heating puts the lives of hundreds of thousands of people at risk. Darekproputina.cz is cooperating with Ukrainian funds and Czech suppliers to ensure the rapid delivery of essential items, while emphasizing the need for chemical heaters and batteries to enable citizens to meet their basic needs.
