Ukraine's energy minister and World Bank official discuss priority energy cooperation
Talks in New York focused on programs to support Ukraine's energy sector amid ongoing challenges.
Ukraine's First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy, Denys Shmyhal, met with Anna Bjerde, the World Bank's Managing Director of Operations, in New York to discuss priority cooperation programs in the country's energy sector.
The meeting focused on identifying and advancing projects considered priorities for supporting Ukraine's energy infrastructure, an area that has faced significant strain in recent years amid the ongoing war.
Discussions between Ukrainian officials and international financial institutions such as the World Bank have played a recurring role in efforts to secure funding and technical support for rebuilding and stabilizing Ukraine's energy grid and related infrastructure.
The World Bank has been among the international institutions engaged in supporting Ukraine's broader economic recovery, with energy sector cooperation representing one strand of that ongoing engagement.
Further details on the specific programs discussed at the New York meeting, including timelines or funding figures, were not disclosed following the talks between Shmyhal and Bjerde.
