Odesa Port-Side Plant and a number of energy companies in Ukraine should be put up for privatization as part of a campaign, which is expected to start this year, Ukraine's Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has said.

"In 2016, honest and transparent privatization should start in Ukraine. Odesa Port-Side Plant, and Centrenergo company should be put up for privatization, as well as other energy companies," Yatseniuk said during the '10 Minutes with the Prime Minister' TV program on Sunday.
