In підтримували його як голову particular, the exploration and правління. Ця команда перетворює production team has been turned around Нафтогаз у сучасну, відкриту до змін (this happened after Yuriy Vitrenko left і успішну компанію. Зокрема, було the Company). Otto Waterlander, повністю перезавантажено команду formerly with McKinsey, took over as за напрямом розвідки та видобування Chief Transformation Officer (January (це сталося після того, як Юрій 2020) to ensure and accelerate the Вітренко залишив Компанію). Отто needed transformation of the Company. Ватерландер, який раніше працював He was soon appointed Chief Operating у компанії McKinsey, обійняв посаду Officer (April 2020).

Таким чином, склад правління, до якого входять Сергій Перелома (перший заступник голови правління з серпня 2014 року) та Ярослав Теклюк (директор з юридичних питань з квітня 2014 року), 3 поповнили першокласні фахівці світового рівня. Otto Waterlander, fully supported За цілковитої підтримки голови by the CEO and the other members of та інших членів правління Отто the Executive Board, is transforming Ватерландер перетворює Нафтогаз Naftogaz into a company which is на компанію, яка максимально making the best of its opportunities and ефективно використовує наявні capital. The strategy is well thought можливості та капітал. Стратегія through and designed to substantially Компанії добре продумана та change the Company’s results over the спрямована на істотну зміну next two/three years.

The Executive Board has made Правління дало чітко зрозуміти, clear to us that it is not necessarily going що не обов’язково залишиться в to remain in Naftogaz if it is led by Нафтогазі, якщо його очолюватиме designated CEO Yuriy Vitrenko, who призначений голова правління Юрій seems unfamiliar with the ongoing Вітренко, який, здається, не transformation, and which he considers знайомий з програмою поточної altering. This in our view would be a big трансформації, хід якої він планує step backwards for the Company and змінити. На наш погляд, це було б would lead to unnecessary change and великим кроком Компанії назад і needless value destruction. Ultimately, призвело б до непотрібних змін та if this were to happen, people of марного знищення створеної Ukraine would suffer the consequences цінності. Зрештою, якщо це just as the transformation is taking hold станеться, народ України постраждає and producing results. від наслідків саме тоді, коли 4 трансформація набирає обертів і вже дає результати. ‘Failings’ of the Supervisory and “Невдачі” наглядової ради та Executive Boards правління In response to the ‘failings’ of the У відповідь на вказані в Supervisory Board noted by the Розпорядженні “невдачі” наглядової Ordinance we would answer as follows: ради зазначимо про таке: Clause 2: The underlying profit in Пункт 2: Нормалізований 2020, excluding provisions for bad прибуток за 2020 рік, за винятком debts and PSO compensation, is резервів сумнівних боргів та UAH 3.2 billion.

  • Cleaning up the Energy Sector
    10 Cleaning Up the Energy Sector Victory is when we won’t buy any Russian gas. —Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk1 Ukraine’s energy sector is well endowed but extremely mismanaged. Since Ukraine’s independence, it has been the main source of top-level corruption, and its prime beneficiaries have bought the state. This long-lasting policy has undermined national security, caused unsustainable public costs, jeopardized the country’s balance of payments, led to massive waste of energy, and capped domestic production of energy. It is difficult to imagine a worse policy. In- stead, conditions should be created so that Ukraine can develop its substantial energy potential and become self-sufficient in coal and natural gas.2 The solution to these problems is no mystery and it has been elaborated in a large literature for the last two decades. To check corruption energy prices need to be unified. That means raising key prices four to five times, which will eliminate the large energy subsidies and stimulate energy saving, while also stimulating domestic production of all kinds of energy. To make this politi- cally possible, social compensation should be offered to the poorest half of the population. The energy sector suffers from many shortcomings, and most of these need to be dealt with swiftly. Otherwise, new rent-seeking interests will evolve, and soon they will become entrenched and once again impossible to defeat. The new government has a brief window of opportunity to address the most important issues. 1. “Ukraina osvoboditsya ot ‘gazovoi zavisimosti’ ot RF cherez 5 let—Yatsenyuk” [“Yatsenyuk: Ukraine Will Free Itself from Gas Dependence on Russia in 5 Years”], Ekonomichna pravda, Sep- tember 8, 2014.

  • Ukraine's New Gas Chief Says He Is 'True Reformer' After Backlash Over His Appointment
    Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 06/24/2021 6:14:10 PM v RadioFreeEurope f RadioLiberty UKRAINE Ukraine's New Gas Chief Says He Is 'True Reformer' After Backlash Over His Appointment June 10, 202117:03 GMT By Todd Prince Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 06/24/2021 6:14:10 PM Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 06/24/2021 6:14:10 PM The new chief executive officer of Ukraine's state-owned gas behemoth has said he is committed to pushing reforms at the company after a recent management change sparked Western concerns about transparency. Yuriy Vitrenko, who was named CEO of Naftogaz in late April, told RFE/RL on June 9 that he was behind many of the company's reform initiatives since 2014. Vitrenko's comments came following a day of meetings in Washington with officials from the State Department and Energy Department, among others, and a day before addressing U.S. energy industry investors. Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers, of which Vitrenko was a member in his capacity as acting energy minister, came under harsh criticism after it temporarily dismissed the supervisory board of Naftogaz on April 28 in order to fire longtime CEO Andriy Kobolyev. The body then appointed Vitrenko to replace Kobolyev. The United States, which has pushed reforms of the once notoriously corrupt company for years and viewed Kobolyev's efforts positively, sharply criticized the decision as "calculated." Vitrenko said that Washington reacted as it did because of existing concerns over Ukraine's reform agenda and because Naftogaz had emerged as a "symbol" of the nation's reform progress.

  • Faltering Fightback: Zelensky's Piecemeal Campaign Against Ukraine's Oligarchs – European Council on Foreign Relations
    POLICY BRIEF FALTERING FIGHTBACK: ZELENSKY’S PIECEMEAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST UKRAINE’S OLIGARCHS Andrew Wilson July 2021 SUMMARY Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has declared a “fightback” against oligarchs. Zelensky is motivated by worries about falling poll ratings, pressure from Russia, and a strong desire for good relations with the Biden administration. The fightback campaign has resulted in action against some oligarchs but, overall, it is incomplete. The government still needs to address reform issues in other areas, especially the judiciary, and it has an on-off relationship with the IMF because of the latter’s insistence on conditionality. The campaign has encouraged Zelensky’s tendency towards governance through informal means. This has allowed him to act speedily – but it risks letting oligarchic influence return and enabling easy reversal of reforms in the future. Introduction On 12 March this year, Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, released a short appeal on YouTube called “Ukraine fights back”. He declared that he was preparing to take on those who have been undermining the country – those who have exploited Ukraine’s weaknesses in particular, including its frail rule of law. He attacked “the oligarchic class” – and named names: “[Viktor] Medvedchuk, [Ihor] Kolomoisky, [Petro] Poroshenko, [Rinat] Akhmetov, [Viktor] Pinchuk, [Dmitry] Firtash”. He proceeded to address the oligarchs directly, asking, “Are you ready to work legally and transparently?” The president went on, “Or do you want to continue to create monopolies, control the media, influence deputies and other civil servants? The first is welcome. The second ends.” Ukrainians have heard this kind of talk before. Zelensky’s predecessor, Poroshenko, also made ‘de- oligarchisation’ a policy pledge.

  • Nord Stream 2 and Ukraine ENG.Indd
    SPECIAL REPORT 30/12/2018 UKRAINE–NORD STREAM 2: STRUGGLE OVER GAS TRANSIT Warsaw Institute UKRAINE–NORD STREAM 2: STRUGGLE OVER GAS TRANSIT l The Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline project is primarily perceived in terms of a politi- cal venture that goes against basic EU principles and poses threat to European solidarity. It was backed by Chancellor Angela Merkel and the German government despite objec- tions from some of EU and NATO member states and from the European Commission, not to mention possible negative consequences for Ukraine. Further, Russia’s gas giant Gazprom never took into account purely economic calculations, serving first and fore- most as a tool to implement Moscow’s policy. This is to be exemplified by the firm’s reac- tion to its significant defeat in legal dispute with Ukraine’s Naftogaz. l When constructing Nord Stream 2 and Turkish Stream, Russia aims to make Europe de- pendent on its gas supplies while weakening position of such transit countries as Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and Slovakia. Ultimately, the pipeline running alongside the Baltic Sea may transform countries located between Germany and Russia into their gas condomi- nium. l In addition, the project constitutes an integral element of Moscow’s policy targeted towards the Ukrainian state whose long-time strategic goal is to eliminate Ukraine from the European gas transit network and to weaken the state, also by hitting its budget. Nord Stream 2’s political, economic and security consequences will be most suffered by Ukraine as it is estimated that charges deriving from the pipeline’s launch may make up to 3 percent of its gross domestic product.

  • Naftogaz Reforms in Danger Ukrainealert by Diane Francis
    Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 12/01/2020 12:59:06 PM TUE, DEC 1, 2020 Naftogaz reforms in danger UkraineAlert by Diane Francis Energy Markets & Governance Geopolitics & Energy Security Oil and Gas Russia Ukraine ¥ Naftogaz CEO Andriy Kobolyev says reforms at the Ukrainian energy giant are under attack. (REUTERS/Valentyn Ogirenko) Energy giant Naftogaz is the corporate governance poster child among Ukraine’s many state-owned enterprises. Since 2014, it has transitioned from fraud-riddled drain on government finances to a profitable business model complete with good governance. Along the way, Naftogaz also extricated itself from the Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs who used it to enrich themselves, and signed an important gas transit contract with Gazprom after winning billions of dollars in court from the Russian company. “Naftogaz is a clean corporation. We have cleaned up corruption,” says Naftogaz CEO Andriy Kobolyev. “Five years ago, the Naftogaz deficit was USD 6.5 billion, which came out of the Ukrainian budget. Our contribution now represents 20 percent of total government revenues. We set up an independent Supervisory Board to undertake corporate governance reform, which is what the IMF, EBRD, and OECD asked for. We are audited by Deloitte and KPMG.” Despite these stellar achievements, or perhaps because of them, Naftogaz is now a major target. Along with the country’s other anti-corruption success stories, it is coming under pressure from malevolent forces intent on recapturing state enterprises and turning back the clock. In recent months, attempts by Ukrainian judges, government officials, and politicians to unravel reforms and harass reformers have captured headlines.
