This week, Brussels confirmed the full completion of the synchronisation of the Ukrainian and European power systems. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal at a Government meeting on 1 December.

According to the Head of Government, this is a great achievement for Ukraine.

“At the same meeting in Brussels, a decision was made that will allow Ukraine to import up to 1,700 MW of electricity from Europe. This is an additional 500 MW that will help us cover a possible deficit in the winter,” said Denys Shmyhal.

According to the Prime Minister, Ukraine expects the EU leaders’ summit this month to take a historic decision to start negotiations on Ukraine’s accession to the European Union.
