- On April 28, 2021, the government dismissed the head of Naftogaz Andriy Kobolev and the supervisory board. Before the election of a new board, its functions were to be performed by the current board, but all of them resigned. The reason for the resignation of the chairman and supervisory board of Naftogaz was given by the government as their unsatisfactory work. Kobolevʼs resignation was criticized by Ukraineʼs Western partners. Prior to that, the functions of the Supervisory Board of Naftogaz were performed by the Cabinet of Ministers.
