Donson’s predecessor, Duncan Nightingale, has moved to the supervisory board of Ukrnafta’s parent company Naftogaz, the message added.

On March 2, the Cabinet appointed a new supervisory board at Naftogaz based on the nominations committee’s recommendations. Independent international members named to the board include Robert Sleszynski, Erik Rasmussen, Duncan Nightingale, and Tor Martin Anfinnsen.

Ukrnafta is Ukraine’s largest oil producer. The company operates 1,807 oil wells, 164 gas wells, and operates the country’s largest network of gas stations, with 663 sites.
