"The whole world needs fertilizers for food production. Why make or buy them from Russian gas?

Also, the president reiterated the idea that Ukrainian electricity can help replace “dirty Russian energy resources.”

The Ukrainian leader added that Ukraine has “tremendous opportunities” in developing f hydrogen energy and transmission of green hydrogen to Europe.

"The sun, wind, nuclear energy, green hydrogen - all this is in Ukraine, and it's not just billions of dollars that can be invested and earned, but billions of dollars that will work to help different countries and peoples - tens of millions of people. New green clean energy requires lithium, graphite and other rare earth metals. We have enough of them. Therefore, by investing in Ukraine, one can accelerate the development of green energy in other countries as well," Zelensky noted.

The head of state also noted that every year, Ukraine generates tens of millions of cubic meters of wood, while ensuring the restoration of its forests.
