Zelensky, Poroshenko, Yatsenyuk and Others. Vitrenko Names Those Involved in Receiving $3 Billion from Gazprom
He also noted that he remembers well those who created obstacles in this case.
Business Development Director of Naftogaz of Ukraine Yuriy Vitrenko expressed gratitude on Facebook to everyone who contributed to receiving $3 billion from Gazprom under the Stockholm arbitration ruling. He wrote separately about the key figures to specifically describe their work in this case.
"I must thank many people. In this post I will name individual key players. I hope this will help you better understand how I see their role from within the process and reduce the amount of speculation on this topic. Unfortunately, I cannot personally mention everyone now. I apologize in advance. But I value the contribution of each. I also remember those who created obstacles".
In the arbitration process itself, the key players, according to Vitrenko, were his partners on the Naftogaz team — Yaroslav Teklyuk and Oleksandr Vedeneev, external lawyers and experts — Wikborg Rein, Gernandt & Danielsson, Aequo, Brattle Group and others, and witnesses Igor Didenko, Antonina Marchenko, Andriy Kobolev, Vadim Frolov.
The key players among the external factors of the arbitration were:
- Ukrainian civil society, especially defenders of Ukraine on all fronts
- Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who supported Naftogaz's right to apply to the Stockholm arbitration
- Petro Poroshenko, who publicly supported the arbitration against Gazprom
- The Foreign Ministry and diplomats who helped and facilitated contacts at the intergovernmental level
- Ukraine's international partners who helped and facilitated more broadly
- Members of the Naftogaz board and supervisory council who made individual important decisions regarding the arbitration
- Other politicians, civil servants, journalists, activists and colleagues
Yuriy Vitrenko also added: "I personally saw that President Zelensky always took the position that Gazprom must comply with the Stockholm arbitration ruling. I can also say that President Zelensky gave me the opportunity to defend our position on the need to comply with the Stockholm arbitration ruling even at a meeting with Putin in Paris".
Finally, Vitrenko noted the role of the Presidential Office, especially Andriy Yermak, the Verkhovna Rada, the Cabinet of Ministers, in particular Oleksiy Orzhel, Ukrainian diplomats, the NEURC, the AMCU and international partners, since they all helped and facilitated various issues.
