Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has said that the court lifted arrest from the Energoatom's accounts and the company resumed its operations.

"The court has lifted arrest and resumed operation of Energoatom. I welcome the court's decision," the prime minister wrote on his Twitter page.

He wrote on his Facebook page that the court decision would allow implementing financial liabilities to European and U.S. partners, including under loan agreements and return trust of foreign banks.

"We will be able to resume the nuclear fuel supply diversification program for Ukrainian nuclear power plants and continue preparation works for the autumn-winter period," the prime minister wrote.

Energoatom is the operator of all four Ukrainian-based operating nuclear power plants, which have 15 VVER reactors with an overall generating capacity of 13.835 gigawatts.
