An adviser to Ukraine’s President-elect Volodymyr Zelenskyi, former finance minister of Ukraine Oleksandr Danyliuk, met with US Secretary of Energy Rick Perry to discuss the strengthening of Ukraine’s energy independence.
The meeting took place in Brussels on the sidelines of the EU-US High-Level Business-to-Business Energy Forum, Zelenskyi’s press service reported.
“The role of the United States in diversifying energy supplies is important to both Ukraine and Europe. This reduces political risks and lowers the price of energy for consumers,” Danyliuk said.
According to the press service, they also discussed attracting investments in increasing natural gas production in Ukraine, possible ways of supplying US liquefied natural gas, as well as reforming the gas market in Ukraine, including NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine.
In addition, the parties discussed cooperation in the field of nuclear energy, in particular, improving the reliability and efficiency of existing nuclear power units, as well as design and construction of small modular reactors.
