Zelenskyy, in particular, said that he had held a meeting with government officials on the results of the government's 100 days of work, as well as key tasks for the next 100 days.

"In particular, I instructed to immediately provide 100% financing for gas imports - there is already 70%, and we understand how to accumulate the necessary amount. The Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Energy must ensure the full implementation of our agreements with Germany, Norway, Italy, the Netherlands and the European Commission on financing and supply of the necessary equipment for electricity generation," he said.
