“Dear friends,
“I would like to congratulate you on the resumption of joint operation of the power systems of Russia and Ukraine.
“Today’s event is a significant practical milestone in the development of the Russian-Ukrainian partnership. Your combined efforts have solved complex economic and engineering problems involved in integrating the power generating potentials of our two countries. I am convinced that a qualitative improvement in the reliability and efficiency of the national power grids will have a positive impact on the entire economy, and as a consequence on the life of people both in Russia and Ukraine.
“Russian-Ukrainian power cooperation has tremendous prospects. Only by combining our resources will we be able to carry out large-scale modernisation of the industry’s production infrastructure and boost Russia’s and Ukraine’s positions on international energy markets.
“I wish you success in your work for the good of our countries and peoples. I also wish you good health and all the best.”
