The National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) is considering the possibility of introducing temporary administrations at energy enterprises, NSDC Secretary Oleksiy Danilov has said.

“We see signs of a certain monopolization in this market. Today we have eight names: Akhmetov, Novinsky, Surkis brothers, Grigorishin, Boholiubov, Kolomoisky, Liovochkin, Boiko brothers and Russian citizen Voevodin. Today we are considering the possibility of imposing temporary administrations, if necessary, if there is a threat to national security,” Danilov said at a briefing following the NSDC meeting on July 30.

“Moreover, we will not allow anyone to manipulate tariffs. The president sets the task by no means to allow an increase in tariffs for vulnerable segments of the population. In no case should the cost for the population increase,” he said.
