As reported, on April 28, the Cabinet of Ministers dismissed Andriy Kobolyev as CEO of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine and appointed Yuriy Vitrenko to replace him.

The United States expressed deep concern by the Ukrainian government’s actions to replace the management of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine, calling it “calculated move – using a procedural loophole”.
