Ukrnafta will pay dividends in the term established by the general meeting, namely by April 10, 2015. Thus, it is currently inappropriate to talk about the violation of the dividend payment term. However, we pay attention [to the fact] that UAH 120 million of the sum has been allocated to the national budget of Ukraine," reads the report.
