Yuri Vitrenko: The Cabinet can free me at any time. The main thing is victory. Interview about the heating season, default of Naftogaz and war

A great interview with the Chairman of the Board of Naftogaz of Ukraine Yuriy Vitrenko NAK Naftogaz of Ukraine and his head Yuri Vitrenko this summer became participants of two important and connected processes. The first, the preparation of the country for winter, though it is traditional, but because of the war with Russia has its own peculiarities. Gas is now very expensive, and Ukraine needs a lot.

The second process is the restructuring of multimillion -dollar debts to Western creditors, also not without problems. Extra funds, or, as Vitrenko himself says, is a "big bunch of money", it is necessary for the purchase of precious blue fuel. But Naftogaz bond owners have already abandoned two years of delay. Now NAC has made them a new, improved offer and waiting for the answer.

Video of the day in both cases, the activity of formally independent Naftogaz is coordinated by the Cabinet of Ministers Denis Shmigal, who first forbade the company to pay with creditors, and secondly, put a lot of gas storage facilities before Naftogaz-19 billion cubic meters. Through these stories, the relationship between the government and one of the country's largest companies is difficult to call cloudless.

It is rumored that conversations on high tones at the Cabinet have ceased to be a rarity. Vitrenko denies quarrels. Moreover, he said, he understands the government's tasks for one simple reason: everyone has to do everything to win. He repeats this thesis during a half -hour conversation several times.
