Myös energiaa lansalle myyvät tahot Ukrainassa ovat suoran sanottuna hujareita. Ne myy kansalle moninkertaisesti energia kaasua, väittävät ostavansa sitä kallilla Venäjältä, mutta se ei pitä edes paikkansa, eli ne törkeästi rahastavat oma kansaa, rikastuvat sitä miljoneilla joka kuukausi ja lähettävät rahansa offshoreihin.
Energian hinnan nostaminen markkinatasolle oli IMF:n ehto. energiatuet on kielletty. Markkinahintaa pitäis pyytää.
Tuskin noista vaatimuksista kukaan olisi eroon päässy. Ei ukrainalla ole oikeen neuvotteluvaraa.
Ukraine introduces new energy tariffs to meet IMF demands
KIEV, April 27 2016 (Reuters) - The Ukrainian government on Wednesday unified natural gas tariffs for consumers as it seeks to meet demands by the International Monetary Fund to secure financial aid.
Most, however, will face higher prices, complying with IMF calls for Ukraine to increase energy tariffs for households and utilities in an effort to reduce budget subsidies for state-run energy company Naftogaz.
Groysman said that new single tariff to come into effect next month will be 6,879 hryvnia ($272) per 1,000 cubic metres of gas used.
The outgoing two-tier system's winter pricing was 3,600 hryvnias per 1,000 cubic metres for up to 1,200 cubic metres of gas, rising to 7,188 hryvnia for consumption above 1,200 cubic metres.

Ukraine cuts energy subsidies in bid to please IMF
Ukraine moved to further eliminate unsustainable energy subsidies by unifying household and commercial natural gas tariffs, marking the first big move by the country’s new government in demonstrating its commitment to unfreeze a $17.5bn IMF loan programme that fell off track amid a months-long political crisis.
“They brought domestic gas prices to import parity. Very positive move,” said Olena Bilan, an economist at Kiev-based investment bank Dragon Capital.
The decision by a reshuffled government ushered in this month and
brings tariffs for households, which had long paid a tiny share of market prices, to about $272 per 1,000 cubic metres, nearly double more than some customers paid this winter.
The politically-charged tariff hikes was announced as US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland wrapped up a three-day visit for talks with Kiev’s pro-western leadership by noting that she was “encouraged by the commitment of all the political forces … to continuing and accelerating reform, economic reform, anti-corruption reform, in particular judicial reform.”

Tuossa selvällä kielellä miksi enerkiatukija ei sallita. Tehoton teollisuus halutaan alas.
Over the years, top Ukrainian oligarchs and politicians have benefited from subsidized gas prices, which kept their gas-guzzling, inefficient industries running.
