Ukraine is facing an energy crisis due to its reliance on Russian energy imports. Nuclear power currently provides 48% of Ukraine's electricity, while coal produces 29% and hydro provides 13%. However, Ukraine's coal stocks at its thermal power plants are dwindling, putting additional pressure on the country's energy supply. Ukraine also relies on Russia for gas transportation and storage, with its gas storage facilities currently holding approximately 7 billion cubic meters of natural gas. The energy crisis underscores Ukraine's need to diversify its energy sources away from Russia.
