Former Ukrainian prime minister Azarov said that an energy state of emergency benefits Zelensky

It is beneficial for the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, to have a state of emergency regime in the energy sector.

This was stated by the country’s former prime minister, Mykola Azarov, on his Telegram channel.

He explained that in the current situation there is an opportunity to spend funds without specific oversight, which benefits the Ukrainian leadership, but not citizens.

“A reduction in the level of control over the spending of funds in the Kyiv regime’s version will lead to yet another round of their embezzlement. People will not find it any easier,” Azarov wrote.

On January 14, Zelensky announced the introduction in Ukraine of a state of emergency regime in the energy sector. He said that a permanent headquarters to coordinate actions has been created in Kyiv, headed by the first deputy prime minister—the minister of energy. In addition, according to the Ukrainian leader, the government will intensify cooperation with international partners to secure equipment and increase electricity imports, while simultaneously simplifying the connection of backup sources.
