On 26 January 2026, 130 generators purchased as part of the “Warmth from Poland for Kyiv” campaign arrived in the Ukrainian capital. Another 100 units are scheduled to be delivered to other regions of Ukraine.
The equipment, intended to provide heating, will be distributed to schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and residential areas that have been without power and heating for several days.
The public fundraising campaign in Poland raised nearly 8 million zlotys (€1,903,320).
During the event, Klitschko described the deliberate winter deprivation of heat and electricity by Russian forces, targeting civilians including children and the elderly, as genocide and a war crime.
The Kyiv mayor confirmed that heating had been restored in 100 buildings in the city over the past 24 hours, while 1,200 buildings remain without heat. More than 800,000 residents of Kyiv are still without electricity.
Polish support for Ukraine lauded by embassy chief in Kyiv
Piotr Łukasiewicz, Charge d’Affaires of the Polish Embassy in Kyiv, highlighted that Polish society had shown it is not indifferent to what is happening in Ukraine.
The diplomat praised the solidarity demonstrated by the Polish people, expressing pride that citizens had mobilised to help Ukrainians in extremely difficult circumstances caused by the ongoing war.
Łukasiewicz also reminded that additional shipments are on their way to Kyiv, including aid from the Warsaw authorities, support from the Polish Governmental Strategic Reserves Agency, and assistance provided through multilateral agreements with the European Union.
“During these days, it is good and a source of pride to serve as a Polish diplomat in Kyiv, as it is on any other day. Even the complex work of Polish–Ukrainian relations becomes simpler when it is grounded in values such as solidarity, support, assistance, and mutual understanding,” the head of the Polish Embassy in Kyiv said in a statement shared via social media on Monday.
