Ukraine is not happy with its cooperation with the Energy Community because it does not observe its national interests, but is not going to leave the organization, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Yuriy Boiko said in an interview with the Dzerkalo Tyzhnia newspaper, published on Saturday.

Asked about the alleged draft document on Ukraine’s exit from the Energy Community, the deputy prime minister said: “We did not prepare such documents. We do criticize the position of the Energy Community. Moreover, we have publicly said that we do not agree with their policies.”

Boiko noted they needed a decision of the Verkhovna Rada to quit the organization. “We have not sent, nor prepared any documents,” he said.

At the same time, the deputy premier noted that Kyiv announced that it did not see the point the cooperation with the Energy Community, because its interests were not met.
