Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko informed the audience about the consequences of Russian attacks on energy infrastructure and Ukraine’s needs in this area. Special attention was paid to the support of Ukraine’s energy security by the United States.
On July 2, Lloyd Austin, after meeting with Ukrainian officials, announced the provision of $2.3 billion in military aid to Ukraine.
