The first thematic conference within the framework of Ukraine’s Peace Formula, focusing on energy security, will be held in August, head of the President’s Office, Andriy Yermak, announced on Aug. 13.

According to Yermak, a corresponding working group meeting has already taken place, setting the agenda for the conference.

Yermak noted that following the Global Peace Summit in June, thematic conferences are planned to focus on specific issues related to the war in Ukraine. The purpose of these conferences is to develop and agree on components of the overall peace plan.

“The first such conference will be dedicated to the third point of the peace formula— energy security,” the official said.

“The event will take place online in August this year.”

Yermak reiterated that Russia’s air strikes on Ukraine’s power grid have destroyed 9 GW of generation capacity. The resulting electricity deficit made July 2024 the most challenging month for the country.
