Quote: “The only topic today is the energy sector.

All reports have been devoted to dealing with the aftermath of the Russian criminal attack. [The reports concerned the cities of] Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Khmelnytskyi and Kryvyi Rih, as well as Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi, Sumy, Poltava, Odesa, Vinnytsia and Ivano-Frankivsk oblasts and all affected cities and hromadas [a hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories].

I heard reports on the progress of recovery efforts and the restoration of power, water and heat supply to residential buildings, as well as providing people with temporary housing and all the necessary assistance.”

Details: Reports on the status of the power grid and the priority steps to strengthen and further protect it were presented at the meeting by Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, CEO of Ukrenergo (a Ukrainian national energy company), and Oleksii Chernyshov, CEO of Naftogaz (a Ukrainian fuel and energy company).

Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and Mykola Oleshchuk, Commander of Ukraine’s Air Force, reported on the work of air defence units during these two challenging days.

The gathering made several classified decisions.

The president once again stressed that Ukraine can only be truly protected if international partners decide to provide a sufficient number of advanced air defence systems.
