After a meeting with EU officials, Fuel and Energy Minister Yury Boyko said Ukraine will be ready to integrate its electricity network with the EU by the end of 2007. The NC ECU estimates the necessary cost for integration at USD 150 mln. Alexander Paraschiy: Boyko previously said Ukraine needed USD 2 bln to integrate the systems. This announcement might be indirectly aimed at pressuring Russia into further cooperation with Ukraine in the gas and electricity sectors.
