US, Ukraine and Poland discuss regional energy security

U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry met with Ukrainian Energy and Environmental Protection Minister Oleksiy Orzhel and Polish Deputy Energy Minister Tomasz Dąbrowski to discuss the issue of regional energy security.

“Engaging trilateral meeting with Ukrainian Energy Minister Oleksii Orzhel and Polish Deputy Energy Minister Tomasz Dąbrowski. The United States strongly supports Ukraine and Poland’s effort to enhance regional energy security," the U.S. official wrote on Twitter.

The U.S. Energy Secretary also added that opening greater access to Ukraine’s storage would allow increased commercial activity to leverage the increased supplies and seasonal spreads in European gas markets. “Enhancing interconnectors could mean that one day Ukraine can supply its neighbors with new domestic production," he noted.
