Ukrnafta purchases fuel at the company of the sanction Russian billionaire - expert

Increasing imports of gasoline and diesel to Ukraine, the largest oil and gas companies in the country - Ukrnafta - became a natural result, as their own production has decreased significantly. And the reasons for this negative trend were formed as early as 2023. This was stated by political expert Mikhail Schneider on his Facebook, reports a telegraph. "Both funny and sinno. Ukrnafta continues to increase the volume of imports of fuel from world producers to Ukraine.

" The country's largest oil company reported on this "achievement" at the end of March this year. It seems like everything sounds. But, obviously, we would like to hear reports from the Ukrainian state -owned enterprise to increase the production of our own petroleum products.

However, since the daily oil production has not only grown from the beginning of the year, but even decreased by 5% - what "Ukrnafta" has been silently silently silently in a row - an increase in gasoline and diesel imports is a completely natural result, "he writes. He reminds. The expert, this trend was formed last year, when approximately 55% of oil products were produced from their own oil "Ukrnafta", "and the rest was closed at the expense of purchased oil and import of petroleum products".

by regularity. According to experts, last year Ukrnafta imported about 300,000 tons of petroleum products. However, you will not find information about these purchases on "Prozorro" - neither announcements about tenders nor reports on concluded contracts. Prices, conditions, counterparties - all this remains secret from the general public, " - argues Schneider.

The expert also adds that it became known that one of the largest suppliers of imported petroleum products for Ukrnafta was this year," Alliance Energo Trade "LLC. The companies were concluded on January 29, 2024 "bypassing the tender procedures". According to Our Money and Telegraf, this company is in the orbit of the Russian billionaire of Chechen descent, which is under the sanctions of Ukraine, the EU, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Canada today.

The spiciness of the situation is also added by the fact that Ukrnafta declares itself the main supplier of diesel to the Armed Forces, which means that public funds can find themselves in the pockets of Russian beneficiaries, " - continues the expert. "Not the only thing that binds these two companies: in February-2024 the Alliance together with the State" Ukrnafta "technically divided the tender" Ukrgasvydobuvannya "for the purchase of 22.

5 thousand tons of diesel fuel with a total cost of UAH 1. 17 billion. The volume was divided into 6 equal lots and 3 of them for a total amount of UAH 582. 57 million without competition was taken by the Alliance of Energo Trade. "He made a nominal competitor of a state -owned company, making applications at an increased price, but did not trade and gave victory" Ukrnafti ".
