KYIV, Jan 26 - Ukraine expects to begin construction of four new nuclear reactors this summer or fall as the country seeks to compensate for lost energy capacity due to the war with Russia, Energy Minister Herman Haluschenko told Reuters.

Two units, including reactors and related equipment, will be based on Russian-made equipment that Ukraine wants to import from Bulgaria, while the other two will use Western technology from power equipment maker Westinghouse. All four reactors will be built at Khmelnytsky nuclear power plant in western Ukraine, Haluschenko added.
