Ukraine and Norway step up cooperation to restore the energy system: Yulia Svyrydenko meets with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Norway Espen Barth Eide

The Government continues its systematic international efforts to mobilize all available resources in support of Ukrainian energy system. This was emphasised by Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko during a meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Norway Espen Barth Eide.

According to Yulia Svyrydenko, during the negotiations, a coordinated list of equipment necessary for repairs after shelling and further strengthening energy resilience was handed over to the Norwegian side. The parties also discussed preparations for the upcoming meeting in the "energy Ramstein" format, initiated by Ukraine as a platform for coordinating long-term support with partners.

“Norway is one of the key donors to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund and a crucial partner in the energy sector. I am grateful to Norway for announcing a new USD 400 million contribution in emergency support to strengthen energy resilience and procure critically needed equipment,” the Prime Minister emphasised.

The Head of the Ukrainian Government extended her gratitude for the decision to continue the partnership in 2026 and disburse USD 8.3 billion within the Nansen Programme. In 2026, Norway also plans to make additional allocations to Norfund Investment Fund to support business development and investment projects in Ukraine.

"Systemic international support is a key element in restoring Ukraine's energy and economic viability," emphasised Yulia Svyrydenko.
