Mediatates on the gas sector undermine the energy security of the country, the Association

The Association, which brings together the largest gas companies of Ukraine, expresses serious concern about a number of publications in the media that contain false and manipulative information about one of the members of the AGCU - Horizon LLCs from the Westernadraseris Group. About it reports RBC-Ukraine with reference to the statement of AGCU. It is noted that this has a negative effect on the business climate in the sector and directly on the volume of natural gas production.

Persons who spread false and manipulative information do so for their own interests. Such actions work against the state, because they repel potential investors - both Ukrainian and foreign, and this happens at a time when the country is extremely needed by international capital, modern technologies and support of Western partners.

"Today, every gas cubic meter produced in Ukraine is critical, because it strengthens our energy security and inspires confidence in the successful passage of this and subsequent RAM. Moreover, the taxes paid not only to maintain the economy of the warring country, but also to strengthen its defense before the aggressor. " - emphasized in the Association. During the full -scale Russian invasion of Horizon LLC, more than UAH 1. 5 billion was invested in the sector and paid more than UAH 2.

4 billion in taxes and fees to the state budget. In addition, the company invests significant funds into local infrastructure, where it operates - repair of roads and other important social projects that contribute to improving the lives of local communities. The Association emphasizes that any actions aimed at discrediting socially responsible business are inflicting a powerful blow throughout the country.

It is the investment of Ukrainian and foreign companies that is an alternative guarantee for the economic growth of the state. At the same time, stopping investment activity in the sector will lead to a fall in gas production, reduction of taxes and reduction of jobs. This will significantly weaken Ukraine's energy security, which is still quite vulnerable after purposeful Russian attacks, AgKU emphasize. Recall that the other day the Ministry of Energy warned about the activation of enemy IPSO.
