Naftogaz is considering various candidates for the position of new head. The main goal of this personnel decision will be to find financing for gas purchases.
RBC-Ukraine reports, citing an informed source, that the candidacy of former Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Svyrydenko is being considered for the position of Naftogaz chairwoman.
What position might Svyrydenko take?
Previously the head of Naftogaz was Serhiy Koretskyi. However, he became Svyrydenko’s successor as head of government after her dismissal.
Svyrydenko has already declined an offer to become Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States of America. MP from the Holos party Yaroslav Zhelezniak said the former prime minister could head Naftogaz.
This option is being considered, but no decision has been made,
– the media source said.
According to the outlet’s interlocutor, the personnel decision is linked to the need to attract additional funds for the energy company.
Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal previously noted that, under various scenarios, the company will need an additional approximately 400 million euros for gas purchases, which they plan to obtain from international partners.
As previously reported, President Volodymyr Zelensky held several meetings with the former prime minister, but discussions about her future work continue.
