KYIV, Apr. 10 – The planned restart of parallel operations between Russia’s United Energy Systems and the Ukrainian power supply system could be disrupted, NTV reported on Tuesday.

In addition to providing for connection the country’s two power grids, with Russia and Ukraine exchanging equal amounts of energy, the memorandum also says that Russia would transmit electricity to Moldova and provide commercial supplies of Russian energy to Ukraine.
