The change of management in the largest oil company Ukrnafta was not due to company’s failure to pay more than UAH 5 billion in rent, as was reported by member of the Supervisory Board of Ukrnafta Ihor Kolomoisky before a meeting of the board.
According to him, state-owned energy company Naftogaz, in turn, has to pay UAH 50 billion in outstanding debts to Ukrnafta.
"According to the law, the Supervisory Board [of Ukrnafta] can dismiss the [management] if there are grounds for that. And the shareholders meeting, [is being held] exactly as stipulated by the law," Kolomoisky said.
According to him, today's meeting of the Supervisory Board is of a formal nature – it was convened to review the company’s report.
