President proposes special incentives to US companies to rebuild Ukraine’s energy system damaged by Russian attacks.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has met business representatives in the United States, seeking investments in his country’s energy sector targeted by Russian air attacks.
Zelenskyy said on X on Tuesday that “the primary focus was on preparing Ukraine’s energy system for the winter” as the country fears power outages.
The meeting in New York was attended by representatives from energy, finance and insurance companies, as well as the head of the US Agency for International Development (USAID), Samantha Power, and deputy secretary of state for management and resources, Richard Verma.
Zelenskyy proposed special incentives.
“This is a proposition from us. It is one of the points of our victory plan,” he said in a video posted online.
