National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) on Thursday will consider immediate measures to neutralize the threat to the energy security of the country, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has said.

"Today, urgent measures to neutralize threats to energy security of Ukraine will be considered at a meeting of the NSDC. We will take further decisions on the diversification of sources of supply of energy coal, not forgetting that the coal, which is mined in the occupied territories is also Ukrainian one, and should take its part in the energy balance of Ukraine," he said at a solemn meeting dedicated to the Day of honoring the combatants in other countries in Kyiv on Thursday.
