To completely overhaul Ukraine's energy system, it will take time, at least eight years.

Minister of Energy of Ukraine, Herman Halushchenko, stated this during a telethon.

"It's a truly big project, and it's a long road... But we have a benchmark for our energy strategy, which is the year 2032. And this will be an entirely new energy system for Ukraine," he assures.
