For the first six months of 2017, a group of “Naftogaz” paid to the state budget of 67.5 billion UAH of taxes and dividends, while the state still has not funded nearly 20 billion targeted subsidies. This is with reference to operational data of 4 July 2017 reported in the press service of “Naftogaz”.
“This payment amount more than sufficient to Fund government subsidies for the protected gas consumers”, – noted in the company.
According to the report, in the first half of 2017, the cost delivered to “Naftogaz” of gas, which should be funded through targeted subsidies, amounted to 49.2 billion.
