Ukraine and Sweden will deepen cooperation in the nuclear industry in order to strengthen the energy security of the whole of Europe.
The issue was discussed during a meeting of Minister of Energy of Ukraine Herman Halushchenko and Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden Ebba Busch in Kyiv.
Herman Halushchenko emphasized that cooperation in the nuclear industry between the countries is a priority.
‘We managed to show other countries that the future of the nuclear industry is possible without Russia: Ukrainian specialists of Energoatom worked together with the specialists of the Westinghouse plant in Sweden to create a technology that allows using Western-made fuel in Soviet reactors,’ Ukraine’s minister stated.
During the meeting, the parties discussed the prospects of deepening cooperation between Ukraine and Sweden in order to further displace Russia from the market of nuclear fuel and atomic technologies in Europe.
The importance of the development of nuclear energy in Ukraine for strengthening the stability of the energy system was also noted.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year.

These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
