This was reported by the Minister of Community and Territorial Development of Ukraine Oleksiy Kuleba.
The total weight of the equipment, including burners, components, filters and auxiliary systems, exceeds 109 tons. The estimated cost is €835 500.
Frontline regions will be the first to receive assistance. In total, Italy has agreed to transfer 78 modular and hot water boilers with a capacity of 116 MW to Ukraine. This was agreed upon by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
