Ukraine is an asset for Europe, particularly in the energy sector

Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal at the annual meeting the Yalta European Strategy, he called green energy as one of the priority sectors for the recovery of Ukraine's economy.

Among other priority areas, he singled out support for the agricultural sector and of the military-industrial complex, says the "Facts of ICTV" material.

He explained that after the war, the structure of the Ukrainian economy will change. After all, a large number of enterprises in the east of the country have been destroyed.

Shmyhal also noted that Ukraine plans to quickly create jobs for forced migrants and refugees through the development of small and medium-sized businesses.

He also agreed with the thesis of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi that Ukraine is an asset for Europe, in particular in the sectors of energy, security and human capital.
