Nataliya Boyko completes her work in Supervisory Board of Naftogaz

Nataliya Boyko has announced that she is completing her work as a Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Naftogaz of Ukraine.

"Three years in a full-scale war, a total of 5 years of my life - very different periods of a very different NJSC. Today I look at the company with great respect, love and gratitude for our incredible people," she wrote on her Facebook page.

She noted that recent years have become a serious test of strength - the equipment has failed, but people have always withstood the tension.

"In 2025, gas production facilities, gas storage facilities and gas transportation infrastructure were repeatedly subjected to massive attacks. In the fourth quarter alone, more than ten large-scale attacks took place, and after the February strikes, more than 40% of our own production was lost. However, our professionals are returning every cubic meter of gas to deliver it to Ukrainian families, and despite all the challenges, they did not stop the development of their own production. Even during the war, the state-owned Naftogaz drilled 140 wells last year, which is one of the highest rates in Europe. Ukraine continues to explore new fields, invests and is ready to engage international partners with their technologies and expertise," Nataliya said.

According to her, one of the key tasks was to prepare for the heating season and attract financing. Boyko said that together with partners, 90% of the gas import financing needs were covered.

"In August, we signed a historic agreement with the EBRD for a EUR 500 million revolving loan, the bank's largest project in Ukraine. For the first time, Naftogaz was granted a loan under the EU guarantee without the need for a Ukrainian state guarantee, which is a clear signal of international confidence. In October, the company raised EUR 300 million from the EIB, and in November, EUR 127 million in EU grants. Ukrainian state-owned banks have also joined in: "PrivatBank, Ukrgasbank, Ukreximbank, and Oschadbank have provided tens of billions of hryvnias," she commented.

Boyko also added that they worked on diversifying supplies. She noted that last year, Naftogaz imported 5.7 billion cubic meters of gas, of which more than 600 million was American LNG in partnership with the Polish company ORLEN. In 2025, 600 million cubic meters of American LNG will be supplied through ORLEN, and 1 billion cubic meters are expected in 2026. Among other things, agreements were signed with Greek companies ATLANTIC-SEE and DEPA Commercial for long-term supplies through the Vertical Corridor. In addition, Azerbaijani gas was purchased from SOCAR for the first time and the Trans-Balkan Corridor was successfully tested.

"Infrastructure modernization and security were a constant priority. Emergency teams worked around the clock to repair damaged equipment. Ensuring transparency and corporate governance in line with OECD standards remained a cross-cutting objective. And I really believe that the challenges that our Supervisory Board has been dealing with can and should be analyzed in case studies. The company signed the Human Capital Sustainability Charter, launched the Supplier Portal to increase procurement transparency... All this way and many other important things were possible thanks to the professionalism of the Naftogaz team and the support and trust of the Government of Ukraine," Nataliya emphasized.

Boyko also thanked for "the opportunity to work alongside for Ukraine's energy security," noting that it was a real honor for her.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, according to the declaration, for 2024, Nataliya Boyko received more than UAH 5 million in fees from the Supervisory Board of Naftogaz.
