The diversification of energy sources and overall energy independence is key to Ukraine and one of the essential objectives for the Government and state-run energy holding companies. The Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman said in an interview with the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.

"Diversification and energy independence are of core importance for us. We are moving in the right direction in atomic energy, in gas, in the energy industry in general. It is clear that we always want it faster, and this is an important issue that now faces the National Company Naftogaz of Ukraine", stressed Volodymyr Groysman.

The PM told the Government was exerting every effort to minimize any, first of all, external effects in the energy domain.
