The EU is ‘exploring’ ways to increase assistance to Ukraine’s energy sector

The European Union is looking into ways to help Ukraine’s energy sector, which has been harmed by Russian attacks for weeks.

During a visit to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv on Tuesday, Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson confirmed the move.

“I am in Kyiv today to help scale up support to the Ukraine energy sector,” she said.

“I have witnessed the scale of destruction in Ukraine first hand and am making all efforts to increase financial, technical, and practical help.”

Ms Simson called Russia’s attacks “a cruel and inhumane tactic to cause human suffering as the winter is approaching”.

The European Union is looking into ways to help Ukraine’s energy sector, which has been harmed by Russian attacks for weeks.

During a visit to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv on Tuesday, Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson confirmed the move.

The additional help will have to come from EU institutions, member states, international partners, and private donors, she said.

The commissioner travelled to Kyiv following weeks of Russian attacks that focused on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, in particular power stations.

Ms Simson plans to meet Ukrainian energy companies to talk about how the EU, international partners, and the private sector can help.

She will also discuss the situation at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the security of supply, and the future reconstruction of the energy system.
