KIEV, June 30 – Ukraine needs to continue the reform of the energy sector, in particular, the privatization of energy companies, in order to improve the efficiency of this sector and actively fight corruption, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt said.

Speaking at the Ukrainian energy conference dedicated to the privatization of energy companies in Kiev on Thursday, Pyatt said that privatization should be aimed not at getting as much money as possible, but at increasing energy efficiency, combating corruption and avoiding manipulations by various political groups.
