However, shifting gas sales, for example, to Chinese markets is not po — Andriy Kobolyev

"Naftogaz was mostly used as an instrument to do two things: firstly, to bribe the electorate through the huge prepaid subsidies, and secondly for corrupt practices."

"The construction and launch of Nord Stream 2 are nothing but part of Putins plan to wage war against Ukraine. He wanted to give up transit through our country so that any further invasion would not affect Russian gas sales to Europe."

"There is no reason for the EU not to place an immediate embargo on supplies of Russian LNG and petroleum products. Russias energy stranglehold has lasted for too long. This step will save lives, and not only in Ukraine."

"This plan enabled Ukraine to achieve two goals: create the independent GTS operator in line with European rules and protect the countrys interests in the arbitration proceedings against Gazprom."

"A lot of populist politicians began to use it as a tool to discredit reforms and to increase their rating in the year of double elections. ... Now I will give my salary and bonuses in equal proportions to three Ukrainian organizations – “Narodny tyl” supporting the families of the dead warriors, “Come back alive” supporting the army, [MIM] and “Tabletochky” to help children with cancer."

"Every day for Naftogaz is like walking on the edge."
