Zelenskyy appeals for help with Ukraine’s energy network as recovery conference opens
BERLIN — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed for short-term help in repairing his country’s electricity network and long-term investment in its energy system as a conference to gather support for Ukraine’s recovery from the destruction wreaked by Russia’s war opened Tuesday.
The German hosts say it is bringing together 2,000 people from national and local politics, business and other areas, arguing that the task of supporting Ukraine’s recovery is too big for governments alone. According to the president, nine gigawatts of electricity generating capacity have been destroyed — including 80% of thermal power and one-third of hydroelectric power — while the peak consumption in Ukraine last winter was 18 gigawatts. Energy, he said, continues to be “one of Putin’s main targets.”
“This is not about grants, but about high-yield investments for your companies, about a large market for your equipment, about loan programs for your institutions,” all of which could create tens of thousands of new jobs, he added. Scholz, whose country has become Ukraine’s second-biggest weapons supplier after the United States, appealed anew to other allies to help strengthen Ukraine’s air defense, “because the best reconstruction is that which doesn’t have to take place.”
On Monday, the head of the State Agency for Restoration of Ukraine, Mustafa Nayyem, announced his resignation on Facebook. He cited “systemic obstacles that prevent me from exercising my powers effectively” and accused the government of bogging his agency down in red tape.
