In turn, Elizabeth Solovyov noticed Israel is interested in cooperation with Ukraine, and in particular with Kharkiv.
She reported Israeli companies are ready to cooperate in the areas of energy efficiency and transport.
“The main direction is water resource. In Israel there is not enough water, so our technology is aimed at saving water. For example, we can cooperate with Vodokanal to upgrade wastewater treatment plants,” said the head of mission.

First Deputy Mayor of Kharkiv said this area is a priority of the work of city government: “Now we are negotiating with the EIB and the EBRD on attraction of credit resources for the construction of metro. Kharkiv is the only city in Ukraine, which is building the subway. In August we will open the 30th metro station, but we won’t stop and will develop Kharkiv underground in the direction of the airport.”
