Ukraine plans to disconnect from the electricity grid with Belarus and the Russian Federation by the end of 2023

Ukraine plans to disconnect from the electricity grid with Belarus and the Russian Federation by the end of 2023, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said Tuesday at a press conference in Kyiv with Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielus Landsbergis. “Since Soviet times, the Ukrainian power grid has been a part of a single network that includes Belarus and Russia,” Kuleba said. “But we want to cut off from this network and make the Ukrainian power grid an integrated part of the European network. We plan to do this by the end of 2023. After that, any power flows from Belarus will become physically impossible.”
