Ukraine’s calls out Hungary’s and Slovakia’s energy blackmail.

Statements from Budapest and Bratislava are provocative, irresponsible, and threaten the energy security of the entire region.

Ukraine is considering the possibility of activating the Early Warning Mechanism provided for in the Association Agreement.

Hungary and Slovakia should send their ultimatums to the Kremlin, and certainly not to Kyiv.

Held a meeting with U.S. Secretary of Energy @SecretaryWright.
We discussed the prospects for strengthening the energy partnership between our countries and agreed to begin work on a future Energy Deal. In particular, we plan to cooperate in the following areas:
📌 Supply of American LNG. The most effective instrument for this is the Vertical Gas Corridor - an existing route with potential for further capacity expansion.
📌 Utilization of Ukraine’s gas transmission system and underground gas storage facilities. A strategic partnership in this area could create additional opportunities for U.S. LNG supplies to the region, especially in the context of the expected phased reduction of Russian gas imports.
📌 Nuclear energy. Cooperation with the United States in the nuclear sector is of strategic importance for Ukraine, particularly in the deployment of advanced American technologies. Ukraine is interested in innovative solutions from the U.S. nuclear industry.
I am grateful to the United States for its critically important support.

Провели зустріч з Міністром енергетики США Крісом Райтом.
Обговорили перспективи енергетичного партнерства між нашими країнами. Домовились працювати над майбутньою Energy Deal. Зокрема плануємо співпрацю за наступними напрямками:
📌 Постачання американського скрапленого природного газу. Найбільш ефективним інструментом для цього є Вертикальний газовий коридор — вже наявний маршрут, пропускна спроможність якого може бути додатково розширена.
📌 використання української газотранспортної системи та підземних сховищ газу. Стратегічне партнерство в цій сфері може забезпечити додаткові можливості для США у постачанні СПГ до регіону, особливо з огляду на очікувану поетапну відмову від російського газу.
📌 Ядерна енергетика. Співпраця зі США у ядерному секторі має для України стратегічне значення, особливо у сфері впровадження передових американських технологій. Україна зацікавлена у рішеннях американського ядерного сектору.
Вдячний Сполученим Штатам за надзвичайно важливу підтримку!

We know that the Hungarian side is preparing to complain again about problems with Russian oil transit through the Druzhba pipeline.

We can only advise them to approach their “friends” in Moscow with these photos. This is the Druzhba pipeline infrastructure burning after the latest targeted Russian strike on January 27th, which stopped the oil transit.

By the way, Hungary made no protest to Russia about it. They could not even pronounce the word “Russia”. Double standards at their best.

The truth is that Moscow stopped being a reliable supplier the moment it launched its aggression against Ukraine. And this aggression is the cause of all problems.

Regrettably, years of this reality have not been enough for the Orban government to realize this and diversify supplies. We propose them to open their eyes.

@siobhan_ogrady The worst news of the day… You’re a top-class reporter!

[Alex Riabchyn @alexrbchn]

When Greenland grabs headlines, Ukraine can’t slip off the agenda. Ukraine’s energy sector is running short of funds after relentless attacks — but Naftogaz is “staying strong” and pushing forward on gas, heat, and resilience.

Vladimir Putin has never dared venture so close to enemy forces: two kilometres is roughly the length of his Covid table. Whatever one might say about Zelensky's flaws—some of them born of the same single-mindedness—his personal bravery is beyond doubt.

[Alex Riabchyn @alexrbchn]

Naftogaz has secured 70% of funding for 4.4 bcm of gas via EU loans & grants. We’re now working with @DFCgov and @EXIMBankUS to close the remaining 30%. CEO Koretskyi: “This money was needed the day before yesterday.”

[Munich Security Conference @MunSecConf]

In times of crisis & conflict, what inspires optimism?

80 Munich Young Leaders from 40 countries met in Lisbon to debate global security — from EU defense & NATO to AI in warfare, peace negotiations, and democratic resilience.

We look forward to the next exchange. #MSC_MYL

It is increasingly clear President Trump stands at a Churchill–Chamberlain crossroads.

You cannot trade another nation’s sovereignty for the illusion of stability.

His choice will decide not only Ukraine’s fate, but the future security of the United States and the free world.

[Olga Stefanishyna @StefanishynaO]

I am honored to accept this appointment from the President @ZelenskyyUa as his Special Envoy for U.S. Cooperation. Grateful for the trust — I am committed to working tirelessly to deepen our partnership, sustain the momentum in our relations, and promote mutually beneficial economic initiatives. Looking forward to the cooperation with the partners in Washington.

З Днем Державності, Україно!

Ми святкуємо вашу ідентичність, культуру та суверенітет.

Цінності, які ви захищаєте – це основа Європейського Союзу.

Ваш шлях – це і наша спільна справа. 🇪🇺🇺🇦

[Alex Riabchyn @alexrbchn]

Spending a month in Brussels for 🇺🇦 screening under EU Accession Cluster 4 - Chapters for 🌍 Environment and Climate, ⚡️ Energy, 🚛 Transport and Networks.
This week is with the Ministry of Environment presenting the relevant Acquis implementation. All for 🇺🇦 future in the 🇪🇺.

@AndriyKostinUa Congrats!

[Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz @bundeskanzler]

Українці захищають своє життя, свою країну і свою свободу. Ціною великих жертв вони також захищають безпеку Європи від войовничого ревізіонізму Росії. Ми продовжуватимемо нашу військову допомогу Україні. І ми її розширюватимемо.

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

It is a time for honesty. Peace talks are having zero effect on Putin. His goal is to dominate Ukraine & he won’t stop until he realizes he cannot win. The U.S. & Allies must arm Ukraine to the teeth, sanction Russia to the max, & confiscate the $300B in overseas Russian assets.

[Alex Riabchyn @alexrbchn]

@StefanishynaO @MartaKosEU See, @RikardJozwiak, Olga is still working hard — and she wants her coffee in Brussels, not in Odesa! 😄

[Yulia Svyrydenko @Svyrydenko_Y]

On behalf of the Government of Ukraine, I signed the Agreement on the Establishment of a United States–Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund.

Together with the United States, we are creating the Fund that will attract global investment into our country.

[Rikard Jozwiak @RikardJozwiak]

its not good news with a potential 🇪🇺 accession decoupling of 🇲🇩🇺🇦 but there is one silver lining, @StefanishynaO...we just moved a bit closer to you getting me that meal in Odesa ;) even though the Brussels option still is preferable, of course
