On August 26, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal had a conversation with the acting US Special Representative for Ukraine's Economic Recovery, Deputy Secretary of State Richard Verma.
Shmyhal informed Verma about the damage to civilian infrastructure as a result of Russia's massive air attack.
"Financial assistance from the US is extremely important for us. Part of it supports the energy sector. We are preparing for a difficult heating season and need more equipment from our partners to build a decentralized energy system. I outlined our urgent needs," the Prime Minister said.
Shmyhal also emphasized the importance of complete confiscation of the frozen assets of Russia and directing resources to support Ukraine.
