The Government of Ukraine is consulting with partners on providing additional air defense systems to protect the Dniester HPP, according to Ukrainian Minister of Energy Herman Halushchenko.
At the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities, Halushchenko mentioned several attempted attacks on this facility. Consequently, the government initiated negotiations with Western partners to provide air defense systems for the Dniester HPP.
"If something happens to this facility, it will affect not only Ukraine. I hope Western partners agree to provide the necessary air defense systems," the Minister said.
