PJSC Ukrnafta is strengthening its security measures due to commercial activity risks.

"The company is working as normal. Security measures are being strengthened in relation to business risks," reads the statement issued by Ukrnafta.

The Ukrnafta board has asked that what they call artificial hype is not created about the company's activities.

As reported, metal fences were installed near the company's central office in Kyiv on Sunday, March 22.

The Verkhovna Rada recently approved government bill No. 2273, which implemented the reduction of the quorum for holding shareholders' meetings to 50% plus one share, not from January 1, 2016 as was originally planed, but immediately.

The minority shareholders of PJSC Ukrnafta are controlled by Ihor Kolomoisky.
