Minister of Energy of Ukraine German Galushchenko met with Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Canada to Ukraine Natalka Cmoc. The parties discussed deepening cooperation in the energy sector, particularly in the nuclear industry.

The Minister of Energy recalled that Ukraine had successful experience of cooperation with Canadian companies, including CAMECO, one of the world’s largest producers of natural uranium and a provider of uranium conversion services.

German Galushchenko stressed that strengthening cooperation with international partners in uranium mining and enrichment would help to increase the relevant capacities and push russia out of the global markets.
