Ukrainians will face a sharp increase in electricity tariffs in June. This was stated by Verkhovna Rada deputy Aleksey Kucherenko in a comment to the publication Strana.ua.

Kucherenko claims that the tariff increase could occur as early as June 1. Previously, Ukrainian Distribution Networks announced the need to increase light prices, noting that Ukraine needs more than $ 1 billion to prepare for the autumn-winter period.
