Quote: “Today I can say that we will deliver an additional €1.9 billion from the Ukraine Facility to Ukraine by the end of this month due to the reforms and investment strategies that Ukraine has adopted,” she said.
In addition, the president of the European Commission noted that €200 million had already been mobilised for urgent repairs to the energy system.
“Next, we will invest in energy generation, and thousands of solar panels will be delivered to Ukraine. Our goal is to decentralise energy production, which increases the resilience of the Ukrainian grid,” she added.
