After I penned this 🧵, the Ukrenergo scandal escalated even further. Two independent members of the supervisory body of Ukrenergo resigned and issued a sharply worded statement calling Kudrytskyi's removal "politically motivated" without valid grounds. /1

In their resignation statement, Daniel Dobeny and Peder Andersen write: "We believe that the decision to prematurely dismiss the head of Ukrenergo is politically motivated and, based on the results of the presented report, there are no valid grounds for it". /2

The statement continues: "From the first days of our work in the Supervisory Board of Ukrenergo, we felt political pressure and observed constant attempts to bypass the competition to appoint people whose professional qualities were doubtful." /3

"Today, in conditions where the corporate management of the company according to OECD standards is called into question, we do not see the possibility of continuing our work in the Supervisory Board of Ukrenergo." /4

"Violating the principles of corporate governance and making a decision to dismiss its manager without proof of improper management is unacceptable and may affect Ukrenergo's further cooperation with ENTSO-E member operators." /5

Yaroslav Zheleznyak, MP from Holos, wrote on Telegram that this is only the beginning of the scandal: "This means that the entire Supervisory Board is collapsing. There must be a majority of independent members. And this means huge problems with foreign loans and donors." /6

Earlier Zheleznyak said that he suspected the real reasons for the dismissal of Kudrytskyi to be "the animalistic desire to control all financial flows" connected with Ukrenergo. Unfortunately, I tend to agree with the opposition MP. /end
