First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine – Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal held a meeting with representatives of a Finnish business delegation comprising defence and technology companies.

Today, the Ukrainian Flag is a symbol of the triumph of light over darkness.

When Russian aggression forced Ukrainian energy workers to leave our energy facilities, they evacuated the Ukrainian flags along with the equipment, preserving them until the day of return.

Our energy workers continue to work under shelling, restore destroyed facilities and bring electricity back to the people. The Ukrainian flag will certainly return to every temporarily occupied power plant.

Happy Day of the State Flag of Ukraine!
