Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "I was glad to meet with Odile Renaud-Basso, President of the EBRD.

We appreciate the EBRD’s continued support for Ukraine, particularly its vital assistance to our state-owned energy and transport companies.

We discussed the severe consequences of Russia’s intensified attacks on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure. I highlighted the particularly difficult situation in the energy and transport sectors, where continued strikes disrupt electricity and heating supplies, railway operations and essential logistics.

Conveyed Ukraine’s most urgent needs and emphasized the importance of accelerating existing EBRD projects and mobilizing additional flexible financing for strategic state-owned enterprises.

Our immediate priorities include restoring damaged energy facilities, securing critical equipment, maintaining reliable railway connections and ensuring the uninterrupted provision of essential services.

Timely and targeted support in these areas is crucial to safeguarding Ukraine’s economic stability and strengthening our resilience amid Russia’s ongoing war of aggression".
