“The Minister of Energy of Ukraine Herman Galushchenko had a dispute in the Verkhovna Rada with Inna Sovsun, a People’s Deputy from the “Golos” faction. Later, she announced on social networks about the registration of the resolution on the dismissal of Galushchenko from the post of minister. This was also reported by her colleague from the faction Yaroslav Zheleznyak. During the hour of questions to the government in the Rada, Inna Sovsun addressed Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal. “In the answer about the third and fourth units of the Khao NPP, you said that it was agreed with the Americans, with Westinghouse, I want to tell you that we, as members of the committee, received messages from representatives of the European Commission delegation and from representatives of the American embassy, ​​who are concerned that information appears in the public space that apparently both of them support this project. In fact, there is no such support. They would like to avoid such manipulations in the future,” she said. Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko added that the third and fourth units of the Khao NPP will operate on American fuel. “And regarding the position of middle-level clerks of the European Commission, Inno, I am very sorry that you are running around the embassies and throwing mud at our energy industry and our state. And I want…” he said. Then the unintelligible phrases of Sovsun and Galushchenko (given from the transcript of the meeting). After that, the people’s deputy announced the registration of the resolution on the resignation of the minister. It has not been made public yet. “The current situation is evidence that Galushchenko can no longer even pretend to be adequate and professional. Now he just rushes at people, is rude and burns bridges with international partners. I reminded him that a few months ago, the Verkhovna Rada summoned Galushchenko to report on corruption in the Ministry of Energy. He still hasn’t appeared. Our faction demands that Galushchenko come with a report, otherwise we will block the rostrum,” she wrote on Facebook. According to her, the “Voice” faction also demands that the next meeting of the Verkhovna Rada begin with Galushchenko’s report on corruption in the ministry, in accordance with the decision of the parliament. Galushchenko has not yet commented on this statement. At the same time, the ministry published a message that the minister’s statement does not refer to the words of the EU ambassador to Ukraine. “Unfortunately, the issue of the construction of power units of the Khmelnytsky NPP has become the subject of manipulation, including by some opposition members of the Verkhovna Rada and experts. In particular, the private correspondence of middle-ranking diplomats, who are not authorized to express the official position of the EU or member states, was used as part of the relevant public discussions. It was about this correspondence that the minister spoke about in his report,” the press service of the department said in a statement. The Ministry of Energy noted that the head of the EU delegation, Katarina Maternova, provided relevant clarifications, which Minister Herman Galushchenko noted during the meeting. “The issue is that in reality there is no single approach to the development of nuclear power in the EU…Therefore, there cannot be a single position of the EU regarding the development of nuclear power, and, in particular, the construction of our units. And this was accordingly announced by the representative of the EU in Ukraine, Katarina Maternova, who said about it that the EU does not comment on the issue of completing the blocs, because it is not an issue…” – said the minister in the Council. ”, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org
