Valentin Zemlyansky, director of energy programs at the Center for World Economy and International Relations of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“There is no economic strategy, including an energy strategy. Those documents that are called “Energy Strategy” are not such. They do not define a number of fundamental indicators, in particular, macroeconomic indicators, to which the energy sector should be linked,” the expert said.
According to him, a similar situation arises with the situation around the government’s promises not to raise the price of gas for the population.
“This is “bees against honey” - Ukraine, in a memorandum with the IMF, committed itself to a possible revision of the price of gas if the deviation in gas prices in Ukraine and on European exchanges is more than 10%, Zemlyansky recalled. “Based on the negotiations over the past two months, the Ukrainian government has proposed several options for revising pricing, none of which were accepted by the IMF.”
