KYIV, April 17 – Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman initiates the dismissal of Board Chairman of Naftogaz Ukrayiny Andriy Kobolev if the company refuses to cut the price of gas sold to households before April 24, Groysman said at a government meeting on Wednesday.

"Or Naftogaz Ukrayiny sets the price below UAH 8.55 per cubic meter from May 1 and informs all Ukrainians about this before April 24, or I will initiate the dismissal of the head of Naftogaz and I will ask the government to support my position," he said.
