Naftogaz Gets New Head

摘要

The new boss of Ukraine's cash-strapped Naftogaz Ukrainy has the tough job of improving the state oil and gas firm's finances. Evgeny Bakulin - who previously chaired the firm from 2003-07 - replaces Oleg Dubina, an ally of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. Dubina stepped down - reportedly of his own volition - earlier this month after Viktor Yanukovich defeated Tymoshenko in Ukraine's presidential elections (IOD Mar.4,p8).
