Ukraine and Poland will develop cross-border energy infrastructure.

As Deputy Minister of Energy Yaroslav Demchenkov emphasized, Ukraine is interested in cooperation with Poland to develop trade in electricity and restoring the infrastructure for its transmission. It will help ensure energy independence and greater energy system stability for the entirety of Europe. According to the minister, it is essential to make maximum efforts to restore the cross-border Khmelnytskyi – Rzeszów power transmission line. This project will play a significant role in the expansion of commercial electricity exchange. Deputy Minister Mykola Kolisnyk particularly noted the need to resist the energy blackmail of the Russian Federation and further reduce dependence on Russian fossil fuels. “It is essential for us to develop cross-border cooperation in the oil and gas sector, in particular, the construction of the Brody-Adamovo oil pipeline and the establishment of cooperation in oil refining.”
