DAVOS, May 27 – Naftogaz Ukrayiny has been tasked with becoming the so-called national operator in the oil products market in order to ensure fair market prices, Naftogaz Board Chairman Yuriy Vitrenko has said.

The idea is not that the state wants to monopolize this market. But now a powerful state player should appear in the market, in which there would be complete confidence both from the state and from the people – with the understanding that the prices at these gas stations are fair and honest," he said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
