UK support will help power Ukraine’s nuclear plants, Energy Security Secretary Grant Shapps has said after visiting the country.
The government has announced it will provide a £192m loan guarantee to enable a UK-based company to supply Ukraine with uranium enrichment services, a vital part of nuclear fuel.
Nuclear power generates more than half of Ukraine’s electricity.

While he was in Ukraine on Tuesday, Mr Shapps visited a power station, which has been badly damaged by Russian bombing.
He also met senior Ukrainian ministers and energy industry figures in Kyiv to discuss the UK’s support for the country’s recovery.
The government has said it will provide the loan guarantee through UK Export Finance – the UK’s export credit agency – to enable UK-headquartered company Urenco to supply Ukraine’s national nuclear company, Energoatom.
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero said this would bring the total of the UK’s non-military assistance to Ukraine to nearly £5bn.
