At a meeting with representatives of German companies, Energy Minister German Galushchenko told about the significant potential for the development of "green" technologies as part of the recovery and reconstruction of the Ukrainian energy sector.

"Renewable energy is more than just a climate issue.

Investments in this industry are a contribution to the energy security of the whole of Europe," Galushchenko said.
