UKRAINE TO DEEPEN COOPERATION WITH U.S. IN ENERGY

Ukraine is interested in deepening and expanding bilateral cooperation with the United States in the energy sector, in particular, intends to increase the supply of nuclear fuel produced by U.S. Westinghouse to 30% of the demand, Ukraine’s Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Ihor Nasalyk has said at a meeting with U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt in Kyiv.

“Further cooperation with Westinghouse is important for Ukraine to diversify nuclear fuel sources at Ukrainian nuclear power plants,” the official said.

The minister expressed commitment to deep and systemic reforms in Ukraine, noting that structural reforms in the energy sector of the country are carried out largely through the support of the United States.

Nasalyk also assured the U.S. official of the implementation of all obligations to transform the energy sector within the framework of the Third Energy Package. In particular, he informed the American colleagues about the situation on the reform of NJSC Naftogaz Ukrainy and confirmed the statement on the creation of transparent and clear structures instead of a monopoly company.
