The Ministry of Energy of Lithuania put forward a proposal to dismantle their closed thermal power plants for spare parts for the Ukrainian energy system, Ukraine’s minister Herman Halushchenko said.

He added that other countries are also providing assistance to Ukraine in confronting the consequences of Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.
At the same time, the minister noted that the best defense is to strengthen the air defense system of Ukraine.
