Andriy Yermak discusses assistance in restoring Ukraine's energy infrastructure with Geoffrey Pyatt, Bridget Brink

On behalf of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak held a meeting with US Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources Geoffrey R. Pyatt and US Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Ukraine Bridget A. Brink.

Yermak said that Geoffrey Pyatt's visit to Ukraine is especially relevant today, on the day when our country was hit by another Russian missile attack.

"You can personally see the atmosphere in which we live, but at the same time we continue fighting," the head of the Office of the President said.

On behalf of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, he thanked the United States, President Joseph Biden, and Congress for supporting our country.

Yermak briefed the interlocutors on the consequences of the terrorist state's attacks on the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine, which took place today.

According to the head of the President's Office, our country needs equipment and other assistance for the rapid restoration of heat supply and energy facilities after missile strikes by Russia.

"Nowadays, Ukrainians are more united than ever, they have been showing resilience and courage for nine months. In order for people not to lose this spirit, it is necessary to take care of quality support for citizens in critical moments," Yermak said.

The representatives of the United States, for their part, assured of their commitment to provide assistance to Ukraine, in particular, the necessary equipment, for the effective support of the Ukrainian people.
