The situation in the energy system, the construction of protective structures, electricity imports to Ukraine - that is, the relevant agreements with partners. The Prime Minister also reported on the financial situation for our country - things that should ensure stability this year. And we are working to speed up our partners' decision on the funds from the use of Russian assets. Politically, there is a solution. The sense of justice - that Russian assets should work to protect us from Russian aggression - is shared by all partners. We need a joint effective mechanism," Zelenskyy said.
