We lost approximately 90% of the wind and 45 to 50% of the sun.

These are huge losses,” he said. Galushchenko also expressed his conviction that Ukraine has great potential for the development of renewable energy, in particular wind energy. Europe is interested in investing in the technology after the end of the war.

“We had a strategy that predicted that in 2030 the share of green energy in Ukraine’s energy balance would be at least 25%,” says Galushchenko. “I think that after our victory, taking into account the destruction caused by Russia, we may revise it and increase the percentage. ” Speaker Nancy Pelosi will represent the United States in Zagreb, Croatia at the First Parliamentary Summit of the International Crimea Platform.
