Groysman: Ukraine not purchasing Russian gas for more than 600 days

Ukraine has not been purchasing gas from the Russian Federation for more than 600 days.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman wrote this on Facebook.

"The Government is making every effort to make Ukraine an energy independent state, because it is an important component of a successful and strong country. We've been living without Russian gas for more than 600 days," the prime minister wrote.

He recalled that in the first half of 2017, Ukraine already managed to increase its own production by 3.8%.
