The United States will provide Ukraine with $800 million to restore its energy sector. This was announced by Minister of Economy Yulia Svyrydenko on the X network on 31 August following her visit to the United States.

‘Energy was one of the key topics during our trip to the United States. Together with the US Deputy Secretary of Energy David M. Turk we discussed the immediate steps needed to restore Ukraine’s energy system. More than 50% of our energy infrastructure was damaged by Russian air strikes. We are deeply grateful for the support in creating passive defence systems, as well as for the USD 800 million financing package for the energy sector,’ Svyrydenko wrote.

According to her, during the visit, she handed over a list of critical equipment to her American colleagues that needs immediate repair. This list was compiled by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
