Yulia Sviridenko is being considered for the position of head of Naftogaz.
Former prime minister Yulia Sviridenko may lead Naftogaz of Ukraine.
Her candidacy was first reported by Member of Parliament Yaroslav Zheleznyak.
In the case of a positive decision, Yulia Sviridenko could lead the national joint-stock company in the status of acting head, then as a full chief. According to a source close to the government, the appointment is still being considered.
The previous head of Naftogaz was Serhiy Koretsky, who last month replaced Yulia Sviridenko as prime minister. The former premier was offered the position of ambassador to the United States, as Olga Stefanishyna was preparing to resign amid preparations for announcing a new suspicion against her.
However, public confirmation of Sviridenko's consent to a diplomatic service was not given. Volodymyr Zelensky said he also offered her to head a certain direction, but did not specify which one. More on this in Anna Steshchenko's piece: “Not Reaching Three Days to a Year: How the Swiderenko government resigned.”
The head of Naftogaz's board is appointed by its supervisory board. After Koretsky's dismissal, she appointed Serhiy Fedorenko as acting head. A full-time chief is appointed based on competition results.
