The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation damaged 40% of Ukraine's energy objects: Zelensky offers "Economic Ramstein"

According to the President, Ukraine does not sell electricity to Europe due to Russian strikes and drones. Energy issues have already become a financial crisis and weapons deficit in the Armed Forces. The Russian army rocket strikes have seriously damaged about 40% of Ukraine's energy infrastructure. This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky during a meeting with the commissioner of the European Union on Energy Issues.

The head of state told the European Commissariah about the consequences of the energy terror of the Russians - attacks on TPP, TPP and hydroelectric power station. Zelensky spoke in detail about the needs of Ukraine to restore energy infrastructure and urged the European Commission to become a coordinator in attracting EU assistance. The President of Ukraine drew attention to the feasibility of creating a platform for supporting the Ukrainian economy and energy sphere like Ramstein.

"This platform, such" Economic Ramstein, "is being built and starts working. Energy issues are going alongside the financial crisis and weapons deficit today, so such a platform must be created," he said. Zelensky mentioned the accession to the European network ENTSO-E, after which Ukraine began to export electricity to Europe. Due to the strikes and drones of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the process was suspended.

"I am sure that we will restore everything, and at a calmer time when the situation in our power system will be stabilized, we will continue exporting electricity to Europe," the President emphasized. Simson Zelensky paid special attention to increased energy sanctions against the Russian Federation. The President of Ukraine has called for limiting the price of Russian gas and its supply to the European Union as part of the next sanction package.

Kadri Simson noted on Twitter, which spoke about the need to increase the support of Ukraine's energy sector. "The infrastructure is undergoing a purposeful attack of Russia is a cruel inhumane tactic, its goal is to cause human suffering with the approach of winter," the European official wrote. The issue of financing, she said, is only one part of the problem. Others are the search for appropriate equipment and its fast delivery to Ukraine.

Recall that Ukraine has agreements with 12 countries to assist in the restoration of energy infrastructure, which was damaged by the Russian Armed Forces with rocket strokes. Partners are ready to send almost 1 thousand units of energy equipment. The State Company "Ukrenergo" is forced to introduce schedules of emergency shutdown of electricity in Ukraine, so that there are no accidents at important facilities.
