The Dutch government has decided to contribute 65 million euros to the Energy Support Fund of Ukraine.
This was discussed during a meeting between Deputy Minister of Energy Roman Andarak and the Dutch government’s special representative Erika Scholten, reports Ministry of Energy.
«This is significant assistance for us, which will be an important contribution to the repair campaign that is already underway as part of the preparations for the upcoming heating season. With these funds, we will be able to partially meet urgent needs. Stable energy supply is the foundation of the functioning of the economy, critical infrastructure, social and other areas of life in Ukraine. We are sincerely grateful for this support», said Andarak.
The Dutch representative, in turn, emphasized that energy will remain one of the main priorities for her country in further supporting Ukraine.
The interlocutors discussed the needs of the Ukrainian fuel and energy sector in equipment, particularly for the gas extraction industry, which has recently been subject to regular Russian attacks. The parties agreed to explore opportunities for cooperation in this area in more detail.
