KYIV, Sept 2 – President Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking via video link at the international economic forum Ambrosetti in Italy, said that Ukraine could become a green energy hub for Europe and increase the export of electricity to the EU.

"Ukraine is ready to increase the export of electricians to the EU. For this, it is important that Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) returns to a safe mode of operation and remains connected to the Ukrainian energy grid. The Russian presence at ZNPP significantly weakens our ability to help Europe in the energy sector," the head of state said.
