According to the minister of energy of Ukraine, Herman Halushchenko, Ukraine is currently at the final stage of this process. It is planned to introduce an isolated regime twice this year – in winter and summer, after which the country will demonstrate that the power channel is ready to unite.
Halushchenko also added that several technical issues remain to be resolved, after which the synchrоnization can be successfully completed. He stressed that Europe absolutely supports Ukraine and promotes its desire to unite with the European energy system.
