Ukraine's Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has denied reports on plans to privatize state-owned company PJSC Ukrgazvydobuvannia.

"Ukrgazvydobuvannia is a state-run company, it needs to be successful and belong to the state, and therefore to the Ukrainian people. Privatization of such a company cannot be allowed under any circumstances. I think either Yulia Volodymyrivna [Tymoshenko] has been misled, or Yulia Volodymyrivna is misleading. There are no such plans and there won't such plans," he told reporters after the second Energy Efficient Partnership Forum.

Groysman said he would not allow any attempts to destroy the system of work at the company.

"But if law enforcement agencies have questions, they should ask them in a civilized way and get answers in a civilized way," he said.

In his opinion, there are no grounds to remove the current management of the company.
