The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved that 12 Ukrainian thermal power plants (TPPs) will now be able to receive gas from NJSC Naftogaz at a price of UAH 7 per cubic meter, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has said.

"An extremely important front for the work of the government and local authorities in a war is to ensure the normal operation of critical infrastructure facilities. In particular, those who supply people with electricity, heat and water," Shmyhal said in a video statement on Monday afternoon.

In this connection, the Cabinet of Ministers decided that 12 Ukrainian thermal power plants will now be able to receive gas from NJSC Naftogaz at a price of UAH 7 per cubic meter.
