The European Union is ready to support the Energy Efficiency Fund of Ukraine, and the relevant law on its establishment will be signed in the near future.

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said this at the press conference upon the 19th Ukraine-EU summit in Kyiv on Thursday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"The EU confirmed its principled readiness to support the Energy Efficiency Fund of Ukraine. We adopted the relevant law, and I'm going to sign it in the near future," the Head of State said.

In addition, speaking of intention to jointly operate the Ukrainian gas transportation system with the EU countries, Poroshenko noted that "thus we will be able to stop the implementation of politically motivated Russian projects."

"Great prospects are opened up before Ukraine regarding the integration into the common EU digital market, and we have discussed this issue today," Poroshenko emphasized.
