"We met in Kyiv with Eisuke Mori, Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Japanese parliament. [...] We discussed support for Ukraine's energy system. We are grateful to the Japanese government and JICA for the equipment already provided. It is important to speed up the delivery of power transformers needed by frontline regions as early as this winter," the post reads.

Koretskyi also invited Japanese businesses to become more actively involved in Ukraine's reconstruction in the energy and infrastructure sectors and stressed Ukraine's readiness to create the necessary conditions for joint projects.
