The article begins with bluntly saying, "Ukraine stops exporting electricity, which has exacerbated the energy pressure of the EU", and wrote, "We (Ukraine) exported electricity to the EU, as well as independent lines to Moldova and Poland , helping Europe replace Russia's natural gas and maintain the stability of the European energy system."
