I was happy to speak with @ukraine_world about all things green reconstruction of Ukraine's energy system and the assistance we still need https://t.co/zHRNrR2szt
Recently @EU_Commission submitted a draft proposal on establishing the Ukraine Facility to provide recovery support. With @ceebankwatch and @RazomWeStand we prepared joint comments to ensure that it will help the reconstruction be sustainable, transparent and inclusive.

One thing #URC2023 and all its pre-events did bring was Ukraine's recommitment to a 2035 coal phase-out date. Huge news, opportunities but also responsibilities. With a set date it's far easier to plan #JustTransition for 🇺🇦 coal communities https://t.co/BOGubpCqjL

Recently we spoke to a few western media about environmental consequences of the destruction of #KakhovkaDam. Some of them claimed that they`re unsure who`s responsible.
It is insane that our nation has to scream the truth and some still don`t hear it.
RUSSIA BLEW UP THE DAM
🇷🇺 terrorists blew up the #Kakhovka HPP and the dam. Another russian war crime threatens more than 80 settlements down the stream, Ukrainian nuclear safety, food security, energy system and our environment. This act of ecocide is another proof that #russiaIsATerroristState
Ecoaction’s Anastasia Gorbach at @C4EForum session on Green Reconstruction of Ukraine:
“Ukraine needs new financial mechanisms for cities, businesses, private households to rebuild better, as well as support & expansion of existing mechanisms such as @EefundUA”.

One of Ukraine's best energy professionals Oleksii Khabatiuk @khabatiuk died defending our country. He was the best for many, including myself. He was one of the first people I wrote to on Feb 24th to ask what we could do to help our energy system keep on running.
RIP Oleksii🕯️

"Local jobs, local power plants, local supply, and local control. A Ukraine-first strategy. Nothing could be more patriotic. And nothing could be more energy secure." https://t.co/Xr18RRDXLv
