Poroshenko will discuss the issue of the Ukraine-EU energy bridge project with the European Commission

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko intends to discuss with the leadership of the European Union the Ukraine-EU energy bridge project.

"The day after tomorrow (March 20 – ed.) in Brussels, I will speak about it with the leadership of the European Commission, with the President of the European Commission, with the President of the European Council, with the European Commissioner", Poroshenko said at a meeting on the development of nuclear energy and safety when using nuclear energy on Monday in Netishyn, Khmelnytsky region.

He noted that the implementation of this project will not only ensure an increase the electricity exports from Ukraine, but also allow attracting funds for the construction of new power units.

“This is in the strategic interests of Ukraine and the vision of the future development of the energy sector, as well as the energy security of our partners – the EU countries. Not to pull gas pipelines from Russia to sit on the gas "needle", and to cooperate in the field of nuclear energy with Ukraine. And I declare that the energy bridge project is a geopolitical counterbalance to the plans of Moscow, which will allow our European partners to have an alternative, reliable source of electricity supply at competitive prices. In other words, Ukraine can become an important contributor to Europe’s energy security”, President said.

He says that the implementation of this project will in the future make it possible to connect the united energy system of Ukraine with the European network.
