MOSCOW. Dec 16 (Interfax) - Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmygal and United States Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources Geoffrey Pyatt have discussed the reconstruction of the Ukrainian energy system.

"Support from our allies is unwavering. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources Geoffrey Pyatt and I have discussed how it [the Ukrainian power supply infrastructure] can be restored.
