  "account": "The National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Public Utilities (NEURC) has re-appointed Yuriy Vlasenko as its head, following his resignation two weeks ago at the end of a two-year term. The decision was made through secret ballot by NEURC members, in line with the law. Ruslan Slobodian stepped down as head and remains as a Commission member. The NEURC head is elected by the Commission's members from within its ranks, with regulatory decisions made collectively to ensure consistency and continuity. Vlasenko was previously elected head on August 5, 2026, with initial speculation suggesting it was a temporary appointment pending Vlasenko's re-election.",
