The theme of energy independence has become a top issue discussed in government circles and in the Ukrainian society. However, analyzing the results of the government effort in this context, the question arises about the "underperformance" of the plans Ukrainian politicians. For the actual confirmation of such serious accusations give a little sad statistics. For example, gas production in Ukraine in January-August 2015 amounted to 13.17 billion m3, which is 2.2% lower than a year earlier. "Naftogaz Ukraine" for eight months reduced production by 4.9%. Gas production in August 2015 compared to the same month last year, declined by 1% - up to 1.68 billion m3. Nftogaz mining companies in August fell by 6.5%. The reason of the lower production volumes in 2015 were high tax rates on natural gas and as a result - the mining companies have reduced or even stopped any investment.
