        Ukraine and the United States have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) under which Kyiv will receive up to $522 million for strengthening the resilience of the Ukrainian energy system, the U.S. embassy in Ukraine said.
        
        Ukraine will receive $422 million in new energy assistance and a further $100 million will be subject to the implementation of certain measures including reforms, the embassy said in a statement released on Sunday.
        
        One of the aims is to help Ukraine restore critical infrastructure, it said, following Russian air attacks on power plants and transformers that left millions of people without electricity at times last winter.
