KYIV, Nov 2 – The dismissal of Yuriy Vitrenko, Chairman of the Board of NJSC Naftogaz Ukrainy, will not affect the provision of consumers with resources, Minister of Energy Herman Haluschenko believes.

"It's not worth connecting the issue of gas supply to a specific person. The system works. There was one manager, now there will be another manager. This will not affect the gas supply to either the population or industry," he said during a joint press conference with European Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson in Kyiv on Tuesday.
