The head of the Ukrainian energy company Naftogaz is calling for further sanctions against Russia and an embargo on Russian oil and gas. Putin should no longer get European money to continue killing.
Mr. Vitrenko, you are further in the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv. How is the situation in the country?
It is a disaster. civilians die. Many people are without food, medicine, electricity and gas. It’s not so bad in the capital, but supplies are limited here too.
You run the state-owned Ukrainian energy company Naftogaz. How do you ensure energy supply during the war with Russia?
Wherever possible, we provide gas, heating and electricity. But it’s going to be difficult because we’re having to shut down more and more equipment from direct hits, environmental hazards, or shelling. A large part of Ukraine is without electricity, gas and water.
