This was reported by Interfax-Ukraine with reference to the operator of the transmission system of NEC "Ukrenergo".

According to the agency, on October 1, the import of electricity from Russia on a flat schedule with a capacity of 100 MW was carried out by United Energy LLC.

The last time commercial import of electricity to Ukraine from Russia was carried out in 2015 under an agreement concluded between the GPVD Ukrinterenergo and OJSC Inter RAO for its further transfer to the Crimea.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the country was ready to extend the contract with Ukraine for pumping gas for a year if a new agreement was not signed.
