G7 leaders have welcomed the substantial energy policy reforms ongoing in Ukraine, and strongly urge it to pursue further ambitious reform of its energy sector.
”In the context of the ongoing crisis between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, we reiterate that energy should not be used as a means of political coercion or as a threat to security,” the leaders said in their declaration issued following the results of G7 Ise-Shima Summit that was held on May 26-27, 2016 and devoted to addressing major global economic and political challenges.
”We welcome the substantial energy policy reforms ongoing in Ukraine, and strongly urge it to pursue further ambitious reform of its energy sector.
