Ukraine is preparing to increase its electricity exports to the European Union to help Europe “resist energy pressure” from Moscow, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday.
“We will increase our electricity exports to consumers in the European Union,” Volodymyr Zelensky said in his daily video address.
These statements come the day after an agreement by the member countries of the European Union to reduce their gas consumption in a coordinated manner and thus help Germany after a drastic drop in Russian shipments.
“Make Ukraine a country that guarantees Europe’s energy security”
Kyiv and the Europeans accuse Moscow of using gas as an economic and political weapon.
“Despite the war, we ensured the integration of Ukrainian networks into the European system in record time,” the Ukrainian president stressed.
“Our exports allow us not only to increase our foreign exchange earnings, but also to help our partners resist Russian energy pressure. We will gradually make Ukraine a country that guarantees Europe’s energy security,” he said and continued.
He also commented on the partial destruction of the Antonivski Bridge in the Russian-occupied southern region of Kherson, which the Kyiv army seeks to retake. “Of course, all the bridges will be rebuilt, but by us,” he said, explaining that this strategic bridge for supplying the Russian army was meant to “break the projects” of the enemy.
