The energy ministers of the three Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) issued a joint statement on Twitter on Wednesday 2 March, in which they encourage all EU Member States to urge the integration of Ukraine into the EU electricity grid.
This statement is dated 28 February, when the EU Member States energy ministers met for an extraordinary meeting on the energy aspects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
During the meeting, broad support was expressed for the synchronisation of the Ukrainian electricity grid with the European system, according to Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson (see EUROPE 12900/4).
Condemning Russia’s military attack on Ukrainian territory, the ministers of the three Baltic countries assured that they would “act in a coordinated manner to ensure our energy independence from Russia”.
They also call on the EU to agree on “clear cooperation mechanisms” aimed at “reinforcing our activities in the field of energy security in Ukraine and the rest of Europe”.
