In an interview, a well-known expert explained that these potential increases are linked to commitments made by the Ukrainian government to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
However, the situation remains uncertain and may depend on political events, particularly the possibility of elections.
Popenko suggested that if elections are announced this year, the government might refrain from implementing higher tariffs to avoid political backlash.
The final decision on tariff adjustments will likely depend on the changing political landscape in Ukraine.
However, this is not the first time Ukrainians have been warned about rising electricity tariffs. It’s important to prepare for this as the damage to critical infrastructure is quite severe.
