U.S. sends expert team to Ukraine to help develop winter action plan

The U.S. Embassy in Ukraine reported this on its Facebook page on Tuesday.

"The U.S. Department of Energy is committed to Ukraine’s energy security and is sending an expert delegation to Ukraine to assist in the development of a Winter Action Plan to address critical needs for the 2019-2020 winter season, as requested by President Zelensky’s Administration," the statement reads.

According to the embassy, this team will help ensure that the Zelensky Administration and the Government of Ukraine are best equipped to ensure Ukraine is never again vulnerable to threats of supply disruption from Russia.

The delegation will work side-by-side with Ukraine’s experts to assess the interdependencies in the generation, transmission and distribution of energy across all sectors, and provide a framework to improve coordinated responses to energy shortages.
