Warmth for Ukraine

Russia deliberately uses cold as a weapon of war. During winter, large-scale attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure leave millions without electricity, water and heating — while temperatures drop far below freezing.

Winterization Campaign 2025–2026

LifeLine Ukraine delivers generators, charging stations and heating infrastructure to communities 0–50 km from the frontline — keeping hospitals and essential services running.

Supported by VNO-NCW, Embassy of Ukraine and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
