Ukraine will stop importing electricity from Russia on December 1, the country`s Fuel and Energy Ministry said on Tuesday.
Ukraine began importing electricity from Russia on September 15 due to a shortage of coal and unscheduled repairs to the Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant.
From September 15 to November 1, Ukraine imported 637 million kW/h from Russia.
