Simson said this at a press conference in Brussels, during which she presented the European Commission's plan to abandon Russian energy resources by 2030.

“The European Commission will do everything to join Ukraine to the EU energy system as soon as possible so that the light in this country continues to burn,” TASS quoted her as saying.
