Around the blocking of the auction for development of the Stynavske field — a story of informal contacts centered on Taras Burdeynyi, — media
According to available information, having been a long-time top manager at Burisma, he may coordinate contacts with officials regarding the Stynavske field and pass instructions to them. Against this background, four officials have come into focus: Serhii Vlasenko, Serhii Huba, Pavlo Bovsunovskyi, Serhii Paiuk, whose actions could have influenced the course of the procedure, as well as Vadym Pozharskyi.
▪️ Serhii Vlasenko, head of the State Service of Geology and Subsoil (StateGeoNedra), whose service twice left Ukrnafta’s application for the open auction without consideration;
▪️ Serhii Huba, chief lawyer of StateGeoNedra, whom sources report has ties to Burisma;
▪️ Pavlo Bovsunovskyi, director of Heoinforma (Geoinform), who is linked to preparing the justification for returning the state company’s application;
▪️ Serhii Paiuk, head of the State Commission for Mineral Reserves (DKZ) — in the context of a possible revision of the Stynavske field’s reserves, which could open Parim Naftogaz access to additional horizons;
▪️ Vadym Pozharskyi, chairman of the board of the Association of Gas Producing Companies of Ukraine.
Before Ukrnafta’s second refusal, Vlasenko, according to sources, visited the Cabinet of Ministers, and Economy Minister Oleksandr Kravchenko, after an appeal from law enforcement, sent the question about the verification back to StateGeoNedra. The auction remains blocked, and the question of possible influence by informal contacts on the decision regarding the state resource remains open.
