The energy ministers from Russia and Ukraine are planned to meet in Minsk on September 21 to discuss energy supply to Donbas, Second Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma has said.

"We are discussing these issues every time, at every meeting. It is planned that our minister and the Russian minister will pay a visit on September 21 and will confer on bigger matters," Kuchma told the press in Kyiv on Saturday.

The Donbas situation is complicated, infrastructure is ruined, and its restoration will require investment, he said.

"They are due to have the discussion, but it's unknown whether they will be able to reach consent," Kuchma said.
