“This time I will personally ensure maximum openness so that we provide all the necessary documents and explanations. I hope that in this open way we will make sure that there are no problems with an objective investigation of this particular situation, and in the future, so that there is no distrust in the company’s activities, “Vitrenko said.

According to Vitrenko, it is also important to prevent the “blackout” of the Ukrainian issue in relations with the United States by political speculation about Naftogaz.
