Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has said that the government's intention to privatize a portion of Ukraine's state oil and gas company Naftogaz is a crime.
I think that a real corruption scandal is brewing in Ukraine," she said at a briefing at the Zhuliany Airport on Friday, after returning from Brussels.
"The fact that they are currently planning to take control of some of the [company's] shares and pay almost nothing for them is definitely a crime," she said.
Tymoshenko said that this was linked to the government's intentions to "partially privatize in the shadows" the country's gas transport system, as well as gas storage facilities and entire gas production.
As reported, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych earlier said he did not rule out that a portion of Naftogaz could be sold
