Ukraine has sufficient resources to cover its need for electricity without importing it from Russia, Energy and Coal Industry Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Demchyshyn has said.
"At present, we have sufficient capacity," he said after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
The minister said that Ukraine doesn't get electricity from Russia not because Russia doesn't supply it, but because Ukraine has not requested it.
