Ukrgazvydobuvannya will impose a 540 million hryvnia tax on ordinary citizens.

UkrgazvydobuvannyaFuel and energy expert Gennady Sikalov (Poltava) reported another scam in the works, which appears to be a typical corruption scheme. According to him, the fact that Ukrgazvydobuvannya announced a tender for hundreds of hydraulic fracturing operations, bypassing the state-run ProZorro public electronic procurement system, clearly indicates multiple violations of current legislation and, notably, could cause irreversible damage to the natural resources of the Kharkiv and Poltava regions. Capital.

It's also alarming that immediately (the next day) after the formal announcement of the tender, Ukrgazvydobuvannya Chairman of the Board Oleh Prokhorenko stated that "...11 global and Ukrainian companies have already expressed interest in the consultation stage and the development of the technical specifications..." despite the fact that the tender documents hadn't even been fully published, and environmental assessments were completely absent. All this indicates that negotiations with potential contractors were already held retroactively, and the tender itself is nothing more than a sham. After all, developing a complete set of technical documentation for such a complex type of work within the allotted 16 days (until June 6, 2016) is completely unrealistic.

It's highly likely that the shady agreement reached will not only drain 540 million hryvnias from the state budget: its return will be factored into new gas tariffs for households. Therefore, Mr. Sikalov plans to quickly submit the collected documents to the highest authorities, so that, in particular, the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine will suspend the sham tender and immediately conduct an investigation into the activities of Ukrgazvydobuvannya's management.
