US interested in cooperation with Ukraine in nuclear energy, gas, oil sectors – Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in his nightly video address, Ukrinform said.

"We are also working on projects with the United States in the energy sector. There is significant U.S. interest in cooperation on nuclear power generation, as well as on gas and oil," he said.

Zelensky stated that Ukraine's infrastructure could provide greater energy security for the entire region and that "the United States is clearly interested in that."

"Overall, this is already part of a much broader Euro-Atlantic strategy – the energy market in Europe must be freed not only from dependence on Russian energy resources but also from the very fact of their supply," he said.

According to him, Russia builds its policy on anti-European foundations and seeks to break Europe – "something that definitely cannot be financed at Europe's expense."

"Nowhere else in the world will Putin earn the kind of money he earned in Europe before this war – and, unfortunately, still continues to earn. Europe will continue to restrict this," Zelensky said.

At the same time, he added that Ukraine was also working with its partners on new sanctions against Russia, noting that "there will be many negotiations on sanctions this week."
