The UK government plans to allocate $500 million to Ukraine for gas purchases. This was reported by the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers on Wednesday, September 21.
The allocation of funds was learned after a meeting between Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal and British Prime Minister Liz Truss in New York.
“We appreciate the readiness of the UK to provide our state with the next tranche of $500 million through the World Bank for the purchase of gas. We are also interested in attracting British businesses to the development of gas production in Ukraine. We hope that the UK government will take the necessary decisions to insure British businesses in Ukraine from military risks,” Shmyhal said.

At the same time, the authorities expect that in the coming heating season, gas consumption will decrease by almost 40% (by 7.7 billion cubic meters) compared to the previous one, at 11.7 billion cubic meters. m.
