“The challenges that Ukraine’s energy sector must overcome are, of course, enormous. It is surprising that the energy system has remained almost fully functional until this autumn, during these months of war. And even now, despite of the fact that Russia is leading its strikes. against the energy infrastructure, Ukraine has managed to restore a large part of the damaged capacities,” he said.
Simson noted that this is a testament to the extraordinary resilience and courage of people working in the Ukrainian energy sector.

According to him, we are talking about tens of millions of euros of aid, which have already been delivered or are being given, “but, of course, more is needed, because of the Russian strikes and the coming winter.”
