This was reported by the press service of the Presidency.
The President welcomed the decision announced the day before on additional EU support to prepare for winter in the amount of about 160 million euros, of which 100 million will come from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets.
For her part, Ursula von der Leyen noted that the European Commission has drawn up a plan to support the Ukrainian energy industry in the winter period, which provides for the restoration of 2.5 GW of energy capacity, as well as the continuation of Ukraine’s connection to the European energy grid.
In addition, the EU plans to export 2 GW of electricity to Ukraine and ensure a stable energy supply in all regions. This will enable more than 25% of energy needs to be covered in winter.
“We are now sending mobile gas turbines and solar panels. We are also discussing issues related to the protection of power plants,” said the President of the European Commission.
