Ukraine is currently crossing the equator of the heating season. According to the Prime Minister, this autumn-winter period is proceeding as planned thanks to large-scale repairs, energy storage and protection of critical infrastructure facilities.

Shmyhal also said that in the energy sector, Ukraine has restored 2.2 GW of heat and hydro generation capacity after last year's massive Russian attacks. Therefore, the electricity produced in Ukraine is enough to cover domestic needs.

"There is also an opportunity to import more electricity from our western neighbors and to attract emergency assistance if necessary," he added.
