And establishing cooperation in the energy sector will allow us to adopt the experience of developed countries and integrate into the European and global energy community. The ecological vector of energy systems development has been an integral trend for many years and will soon become a constant for the effective development of the country. Therefore, the implementation of preventive measures to green economy is an urgent issue of Ukraine's energy policy.
