The Netherlands will contribute 65 million euros to the Energy Support Fund of Ukraine. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Ministry of Energy.
Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine Roman Andarak discussed issues of further support for the Ukrainian energy sector with the Special Representative of the Government of the Netherlands, Erika Scholten.
During the online meeting, Andarak thanked the Netherlands for its recent decision to contribute EUR 65 million to the Energy Support Fund of Ukraine.
"This is significant support for us, and it will be an important contribution to the repair campaign that is already underway in preparation for the next heating season. Thanks to these funds, we will be able to partially cover urgent needs. A stable energy supply is a condition for the functioning of the economy, critical infrastructure, social and other spheres of life in Ukraine. We are sincerely grateful for this assistance," said the Deputy Minister.
The representative of the Netherlands, in turn, stressed that energy will remain one of the main priorities for her country in providing further support to Ukraine.
The interlocutors also discussed the needs of the Ukrainian fuel and energy sector in equipment, in particular for the gas production industry, which has recently been subjected to regular Russian attacks. The parties agreed to study in more detail the possibilities of cooperation in this area.
Addition
The Energy Support Fund of Ukraine allocated more than 1 billion euros for the restoration of the energy system.
