Kobolyev hopes that the company's counterparts will not abuse the force majeure clause of the contracts.
CEO of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine Andriy Kobolyev says the introduction of martial law in 10 Ukrainian regions will not affect the country's gas production and operation of the gas transmission system (GTS).
"I don't see any problem due to [the introduction of] martial law for the operation of gas and oil transmission systems, as well as for gas production. There are some legal aspects involved. And we hope that our contractors won't abuse such element of the contracts as force majeure, applied under martial law. But I don't see any direct influence in any other cases," he told a Ukrainian TV channel on Nov 29.
