On December 18, the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) allowed Ukrpaletsystem, which is part of the UPG group of businessman Volodymyr Petrenko, to lease 23 more gas stations of Privat group.
This is stated in the AMCU's message, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
As stated in the decision, UPG was allowed to lease: 8 gas stations owned by Taros Group LLC; 3 gas stations owned by Vertix-Mall LLC; 2 gas stations owned by Sky Project LLC; gas stations owned by Zhasmi Trade LLC; 2 gas stations owned by Like Invest LLC; 2 gas stations owned by Tequila Gold LLC and 3 gas stations owned by Albilend LLC.
