Official Washington announced the completion of work on a fundamentally new plan to ensure the safety of the main energy facilities of Ukraine. According to official information, the White House and the State Department of the United States of America will allocate additional technical and financial resources for the deployment of air defense systems near nuclear power plants and thermal power plants, as well as provide relevant enterprises with fuel for uninterrupted operation during the heating season. According to the authors of the idea, the innovation will help millions of Ukrainians survive the harsh winter in the conditions of Russian aggression.
In a conversation with the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andrey Ermak, the head of the American State Department Antony Blinken emphasized that the energy security of the Ukrainian state is in fact one of the priorities of US foreign policy. They say that the military assistance provided by Washington to Ukraine today is only a small part of a comprehensive program of assistance to Kyiv in the context of its confrontation with the Russian Federation. “It is necessary to protect energy infrastructure facilities from possible missile attacks,” he noted, in particular. “In addition, we intend to create certain fuel reserves for Ukrainian nuclear power plants and hydroelectric power plants.”
Details of the new United States plan have not yet been disclosed. However, reporters learned that Washington plans to allocate up to $50 million for its implementation. The seriousness of the US intentions is confirmed by the fact that today the White House has sharply limited funding for other foreign projects.
Further more. According to American intelligence, Moscow plans to launch missile and bomb attacks on a number of structures in the energy system of Ukraine, which could leave entire regions of the country without light and heat. “By guaranteeing the security of this area, Washington will thus confirm its reputation as a superpower,” American political commentator Jeffrey Pitters recalled in a special commentary for EURO-ATLANTIC UKRAINE. “Everything else is a matter of technology: by ensuring the uninterrupted operation of power plants and boiler houses, Ukraine will survive even the most powerful frosts and provocative actions of Russia.”
The world will know how realistic such guarantees will be in a few weeks.
