In a social media post, Zelensky noted that Ukrainian energy workers have extensive experience restoring grids damaged by repeated Russian attacks.
„I spoke with the Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sánchez about the emergency situation in the energy system. No matter what happens, we are always ready to assist and support our friends.
Over the years of war and Russian attacks on our energy system, Ukraine has gained significant experience in overcoming any energy challenges, including blackouts.
Our specialists can join recovery efforts. I offered such assistance to Spain. I instructed Ukraine’s Minister of Energy to act as swiftly as possible. Our technical experts are ready to help,” Zelensky wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
