This was announced at a briefing following the Ukraine-EU summit by the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.

“When we quickly connected our electricity grids in record time, it was Ukraine that exported electricity to the EU.

Now the situation is different, and Ukraine needs electricity.

Therefore, we will supply the 2 GW that you need, ”TASS quoted her as saying.

Von der Leyen also said that Ukraine will soon receive €1 billion for restoration.

Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the European Commission Maros Sefcovic said that Ukraine will be able to purchase gas through the energy platform of the European Union for the first time.
