President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky spoke about this in an interview with representatives of the Polish media..

“Ukraine's accession to the European market will lead to lower electricity prices, which will benefit consumers.

Zelensky stressed that during the war, our state passed the test this year - it temporarily disconnected from the Russian and Belarusian energy systems and was supposed to join the EU energy system next year, but this happened already in 2022.

“We had to show the European Union that we are ready. And we were ready. This probation - it happened - became permanent, we joined these networks. Yes, it will help Ukraine a lot,” the Head of State said..
