US sends first power equipment to Ukraine
According to Qazet.az reports. The United States has shipped the first part of its power equipment to Ukraine, US officials said on Monday, as Washington works to support the country's energy infrastructure against intensifying attacks from Russia.

The first tranche was power equipment worth about $13m, one of the officials said. Another source familiar with the matter said two more planeloads of equipment would leave the United States this week.

A US official said the equipment departed from a US military base. The first tranche is part of the $53m announced last month, after Ukraine said it needed transformers and generators as well as air defense systems.
