The assignment of the new government did not clarify the plans regarding oil and gas industry, while the situation in Crimea challenges the integrity of the country. Oil and gas men have to operate under such not simple conditions in Ukraine. During last week all the attention was attracted to forming of the new government, including the assignment of the Heads of the Ministry of Energy and Coal Mining.
Last week will be remembered for unseen devaluation of Hryvna with exchange rate reaching 11 UAH per 1 USD. The volatility of the currency exchange undermined the bank system with almost complete interruption of credit provision and, consequently, putting in danger all oil and gas projects.
One more destabilizing factor is the situation in Crimea where all the important state facilities are allegedly captured by Russian militaries.
