Naftogaz Ukrainy CEO Andriy Kobolev has been put on the list of individuals against whom sanctions of the Russian government were imposed in pursuance of the decree of the president on application of special economic measures over unfriendly Ukrainian actions towards citizens and legal entities of the Russian Federation.

"I am not ready to comment on my inclusion in the Russian sanction list, as I did not have and do not have assets there. I am not planning to travel to Sochi," he wrote on his Facebook page.
