“The climate goals that are in line with EU membership are very ambitious. In 2030, no one will exempt us from these commitments. And the more war-related losses and destruction we have, the more emissions – the more strategically and creatively we need to think about how to reach the level of EU Member States in 2030,” Pavlenko said.

According to the expert, DiXi Group is planning to coerate with certain institutions that devel advanced technogies, which are different from what is offered on the market.
