EU Announces 500 Generators for Ukraine in Dublin, Backs Delivery of 200 Buses and Four Norwegian Floating Bridges for the Winter
European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued a joint statement in Dublin on November 12 after meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, announcing that the European Union is mobilising 500 generators from its rescEU reserves to support Ukraine, helping to establish emergency support centres and providing essential equipment. The statement said the EU is also supporting the delivery of four floating bridges from Norway and 200 buses to Ukraine.
The two leaders reaffirmed their unwavering support for Zelenskyy and Ukraine, and said the European Council meeting on November 26-27 will discuss Ukraine's urgent financing needs for 2027.
The meeting took place during the European Political Community summit in Dublin, where Zelenskyy held a series of talks with European leaders and U.S. envoys. Winter energy security was among Kyiv's central asks, and the generators and emergency equipment announced by the EU respond to continued attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
