The former general director of the Gas Transport System Operator of Ukraine, Serhiy Makogon, filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court of Ukraine, demanding the payment of a premium in the amount of UAH 10.53 million. After being fired from the state-owned company, Makogon has already lost twice in court, but now hopes to review the case at the highest court.
Makogon began suing the state back in February 2022. In 2024, the courts of the first and appellate instances recognized his claims as unfounded. In particular, on July 16, the Kyiv Court of Appeal not only rejected his claim, but also ordered him to compensate the state company 60,000. UAH court costs.
In September 2024, the Supreme Court opened proceedings on this claim. However, the date of the next meeting has not yet been set.
It is known that the explorer left Ukraine in September 2023 and currently lives in Canada. He does not appear personally at court sessions - his interests are represented by lawyers.
While in Canada, Makogon actively comments on the situation in the Ukrainian energy sector on social networks. He criticizes Ukrainian energy workers, in particular, because of the introduced electricity blackout schedules.
