Poroshenko promises to end monopolies in power industry, other monopolies in Ukraine
Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko has said that order needs to be restored and competition brought back into the energy sector and stressed the importance of de-monopolization, diversification and de-oligarchization of the energy market as a precondition to ensure its security.
"The policy of de-monopolization and de-oligarchization is fully consistent with the national security interests, and I am sure that neither I, as president, nor the government, nor the Verkhovna Rada will give up this course, no matter whoever and whatever is trying to blackmail Ukraine and me as president – by the so-called miners' battalions, two-thirds of whom were "titushki" (hired thugs) or so-called private armies or information sabotage, which they are currently trying to launch against me and against Ukraine," the president said at a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council on Wednesday.
According to the president, the monopolies in the power industry, as well as other monopolies will end.
