KIEV, June 7 – A representative of Ukraine's State Enforcement Service on June 3 fraudulently transferred around 2 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Ukrnafta, removing it from the underground gas storage facility managed by Ukrtransgaz, the owner of a 50%-plus-one-share stake in Ukrnafta and 100% of Ukrtransgaz, Naftogaz Ukrayiny charged.

"Gas to Ukrnafta was transferred by the court officer in Kiev using the fake enforcement act," the company said on Tuesday.

According to the report, the court officer used court decision No. 6/251 issued by the business court in Kiev in May 2014, while on March 30, 2016 Naftogaz Ukrayiny filed an application to review the case in relation to new circumstances. Naftogaz said that Ukrtransgaz has not signed an agreement to store gas with Ukrnafta and has not accepted this amount of gas for storage and has no legal grounds for transferring gas to Ukrnafta.
