Ukraine will receive from Baku powerful transformers, 186 km of electrical cables and other equipment to restore power grids ahead of the heating season. The cargo is being transported by 10 large trucks. This was reported by The Pravyi (Glavkom) citing Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga and Ukraine's ambassador to Azerbaijan Yurii Huseyv.
About the new batch of aid 7 in October, Andriy Sibiga announced. According to him, the equipment will help strengthen the resilience of the energy system before the cold season. Sibiga thanked the head of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Jeihan Bayramov and the people of Azerbaijan for their support to Ukraine.
Ambassador Yurii Husieva clarified that the cargo departed from Azerbaijan 7 in October. It is intended for the restoration and support of power grids during the winter.
“This aid is a practical manifestation of solidarity and Ukrainian-Azerbaijani strategic partnership, as well as a significant contribution to strengthening the resilience of our energy system,” Husieva emphasized.

The delivery came amid intensified Russian strikes on energy infrastructure. In the night preceding 7 October, Russia attacked Ukraine with missiles and attack drones. President Volodymyr Zelensky said one of the enemy’s key targets is Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
In winter, the country needs not only generation but also equipment for transmission and distribution of electricity. Transformers change the voltage level during transmission to consumers, and cables are needed to restore damaged network sections and connect energy facilities. The availability of such elements determines the speed of repairs after shelling.
Baku has previously helped Ukrainian energy sector
This delivery is not the first. At the beginning of 2026 year Azerbaijan provided Ukraine 11 powerful generators, five transformers and 27 thousand kilometers of cables and wires, according to data from the Ukrainian MFA.
In February, Volodymyr Zelensky separately thanked the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev for a package of energy support with generators and transformers. During the meeting, the presidents also discussed joint energy projects.
Subsequently, energy cooperation was discussed during Zelensky’s visit to Azerbaijan: the parties agreed on a number of steps in the energy and defense spheres.
In August, Andriy Sibiga, during talks in Kyiv, again thanked Bayramov for equipment for energy facilities and other support.
As a reminder, Glavkom reported that Ukraine received hundreds of generators from international partners, and more than 500 were on the way.
