President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has stated that Ukraine needs to secure the return of offshore fields, including the Odeske and Bezymenne deposits, via the courts.

"We need to restore the Ukrainian oil and gas industry... We've discussed [with scientists] how important it is now to raise a question in court and return our offshore fields, including the Odeske and Bezymenne deposits," he said while speaking to students at the Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical University of Oil and Gas.
