KIEV, Aug. 9 - The Ukrainian government has decided to return the government stake in UkrTatNafta, which is controlled by Naftogaz Ukrayiny, to the Federal Property Fund, Valentyna Semeniuk, head of the Federal Property Fund, told reporters on Wednesday.

"It's been decided to return the entire stake to the Federal Property Fund and we'll let a working group [with the participation of Tatarstan shareholders] decide on the size," she said. This stake was not included in Naftogaz Ukrayiny charter capital, therefore there are no legislative obstacles for returning it to the fund.
