Executive Director of “Naftogaz of Ukraine” Yuriy Vitrenko said that he was notified about dismissal in two months due to the reduction of his office. He also criticized the Chairman of the Board “Naftogaz” Andrew Kobolyev. Recall that in December 2019, Russia and Ukraine signed a new contract for gas transit. Mr. Vitrenko called him the best all the time.”I have just formally warned that my job cut, and that means in two months I was fired from the “Naftogaz”. It is symbolic that I be fired from “Naftogaz” in a situation where our team, which I have the honour to lead in 2019 showed record profits against losses remaining in “Naftogaz” and when the front is more than enough work,” wrote Mr. Vitrenko in Facebook.As the probable causes of dismissal, he called the fact that now in Ukraine “is not a priority the fight against Russian aggression, particularly effective protection of the interests of Ukraine in relations with “Gazprom””. In addition, in his opinion, is not a priority and the fight against corruption in the gas sector. Mr. Vitrenko said that the decision on contraction has made personally by the Chairman of the Board “Naftogaz Ukraine” Andriy KOBOLEV. However, he recalled the failures of the company’s work in other areas, for which he blamed Mr KOBOLEV. He also said that earlier the government of Ukraine approved the proposal of the Supervisory Board of the company to extend the contract with Andrey KOBOLEV four years, while competition was conducted. In February, Yuriy Vitrenko said that the company delayed paying him the prize for victory in a dispute with Russia’s Gazprom in the Stockholm arbitration. To her he was planning through the courts.Read more about the contract on gas transit — in the material “Kommersant” “With the new gas!”.
