The Ukrainian delegation in Washington handed over to the US partners a list of necessary equipment under the agreements at the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC2024) in Berlin in June on the allocation of $800 million for the energy sector, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister and Economy Minister Yulia Sviridenko said.

“We are deeply grateful to the US for its support for the construction of passive defense systems, as well as for the $800 million funding package for the energy sector. During this visit, we provided a list of critical equipment drawn up by the Cabinet of Ministers for immediate repair,” she wrote in the network X following the visit of the Ukrainian delegation under her leadership to the United States.

At the same time, Sviridenko noted that energy was one of the key topics during her trip to the United States, the operational steps to restore which she discussed, in particular, with Deputy Energy Secretary David M. Turk.

“I appreciate David M. Turk’s clear message that the U.S. is ready to support us with both much-needed equipment and technical support for its installation,” Deputy Prime Minister and Economy Minister pointed out.

She added in the message that Russian airstrikes affected more than 50 percent of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
