On the air of the Ukrainian "Channel 4" she noted that the situation in the Ukrainian energy sector is catastrophic.

According to her, the reason lies in the failure of the procurement of coal reserves and the lack of support from local mining enterprises.

“The second thing that is killing our energy system is, of course, this import of electricity from Russia and Belarus, which they are trying to justify ... This import is killing both the coal industry and the thermal generation industry,” Buimister said.

Earlier it became known that Ukraine will resume importing electricity from Belarus on November 1.

On October 23, there were reports that the Slavyanskaya Thermal Power Plant (TPP), located in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, stopped working due to a lack of coal.
