Ukrainian Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk has announced the Cabinet's plans to integrate the domestic energy grid into the pan-European one before 2023.

"We are maintaining our course toward European integration. We will strive to synchronize our rules and regulations with those of our European colleagues as much as possible. Of course, we also have strategic projects.
