Denys Shmyhal discusses support for the restoration of the Ukrainian energy sector with the Marshal of the Polish Sejm
On 19 June, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal met with Marshal of the Sejm of Poland Szymon Hołownia in Kyiv.
The Head of the Ukrainian Government thanked Poland for participating in the Global Peace Summit and supporting the points of the Peace Formula. He also thanked Poland for its support in countering russian aggression, supporting European integration and opening negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the EU.
The parties discussed the situation in the energy sector and the reconstruction of Ukrainian energy facilities. Denys Shmyhal noted the effectiveness of the Ukrainian-Polish interconnector, which had been updated last year.
"This adds to the reliability of the Ukrainian energy system as part of the European energy grid," he said.
The Prime Minister of Ukraine also spoke about plans to develop a decentralised energy grid: "We are counting on Poland's support and assistance, as this will enhance our defence against russian missiles and drones."
The parties also addressed bilateral infrastructure projects. Szymon Hołownia assured that Poland would continue to support their implementation.
