This was admitted by the Minister of Energy of Ukraine Igor Nasalik on TV channel 112.
According to him, we are talking about importing Russian electricity through its transfer, or about purchasing gas.
“We will not be able to buy coal in South Africa now, because it is already under contract, including through April, and this is due to global processes. There are only two options left to resolve this - either Russia for imports, or Russian gas for gas and fuel oil blocks. That is, these two alternatives,” Nasalik said.
