You have a manual supervisory board, to which you pay bonuses, and he pays them to you. You have spent millions. dollars for his own support in the US Everything is just super. It’s time to improve your working conditions. Despite the hundreds of millions of awards that the ex-head of Naftogaz received, he decided not to deny himself other “simple life joys.” in 2020 minus UAH 19 billion, this did not deter him from the decision to rent a new office for UAH 960 million, “he wrote.

“I am in no way opposed to new offices for state enterprises or government bodies. On the contrary, I am inclined to think that Soviet renovation determines Soviet thinking. But as they say,” you can be more modest “, especially when it is not your money, but state “, – he noted.
Andrusiv added that the new management of the company terminated the contract.
