Ukraine, Finland prime ministers discuss situation in energy sector

At a meeting in Kyiv, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal and Prime Minister of Finland Petteri Orpo discussed the situation in the energy sector.

The head of the Ukrainian government said this in a post on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"We discussed the situation in the Ukrainian energy industry that suffered due to Russian missile and drone strikes. These acts of terror require a strong response from the world. We must strengthen sanctions against the aggressor, especially in the nuclear sector. I am grateful to the Finnish side for understanding the situation," Shmyhal noted.

According to him, Finland's refusal to cooperate with the aggressor in nuclear energy should become an example for other countries.

The parties also discussed the development of logistics, the confiscation of Russian assets, European integration and the restoration of Ukraine.

"I was glad to hear that Finland, together with the private sector, is developing a national plan to help Ukraine in reconstruction. Thank you for your unwavering support," added Shmyhal.

As reported by Ukrinform, on August 23, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal and Prime Minister of Moldova Dorin Recean agreed that the two countries will develop joint control at the state border.
