Musk says he can help Ukraine tackle energy crisis, Groysman promises to mull deal

By Denys Krasnikov / March 17, 2017

Ukraine’s Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman says he wants to talk to Tesla Motors boss Elon Musk about using the tech entrepreneur’s innovative power technologies to tackle Ukraine’s energy crisis.

During an exchange on social network Twitter earlier this week, Musk bet he could build a huge lithium-ion battery network to prevent power blackouts in South Australia in just 100 days.

Asked by a Twitter user if he could do the same in Ukraine, Musk wrote he could, and named the price.
