“Shmyhal, German representatives of energy sector discuss European Green Deal,” Ukrinform, the state-owned news agency

“Shmyhal, German representatives of energy sector discuss European Green Deal,” Ukrinform, the state-owned news agency, headlined a story Friday about a video conference with officials of Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. “We are prepared for the challenges facing Ukraine in the context of the green transition, the decarbonization of the economy,” Shmyhal said at the start of a meeting which was largely designed to win Germany aid and expertise to help Ukraine’s 61 coal mining towns make a transition to a post-coal economy.
