Despite this dependence

Despite this dependence, Acting Energy Minister Yuriy Vitrenko told the Rada last month: “Reasonable import restrictions should be imposed right now.” Two weeks ago, he told the European Business Association that Ukraine needs to bring its regulatory framework in line with European law to meet the goal of integrating with ENTSO-E, the European energy system, by the end of 2023. Vitrenko may now have the powers to oversee this process. On Tuesday, the Rada passed a law giving acting ministers the powers of Rada-approved ministers.
