The politician published the video with the corresponding speech on his page on the social network Facebook.

“Our task is to extract and produce more energy resources, to consume them effectively, and we need to turn from an importing country ... into an exporting country,” the prime minister specified.

Earlier, Groisman said that Ukraine should invest more in gas production in order to refuse to buy it abroad.

In turn, the leader of the Batkivshchyna party and presidential candidate Yulia Tymoshenko recalled that Ukraine has not stopped buying Russian gas over the past five years.

A member of the Energy Strategy Committee of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Russia Rustam Tankayev commented on the policy statement in an interview with NSN.
