Head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine (SPF) Ihor Bilous believes a propaganda campaign has been launched against the fund and him.

"I recently hear many new things about me in media reports. That storytelling suggests making a conclusion that a stove piping attack has started against the fund and me personally," he wrote on his Facebook page on Wednesday.

Bilous also said that now his team is preparing for reporting at a next week government meeting. He intends to present achievements, name problems to be widely discussed and options to solve them.

Earlier Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman criticized the SPF over a failure to hold the repeated tender to sell Odesa Port-Side Plant. He said that the recent tender to privatize Odesa Port-Side Plant showed that the fund is not able to effectively conduct privatization and manage state-owned property.

He said at a government meeting on December 14 that the government postpones making decisions regarding the issue raised by the SPF until the operations of the fund are audited.
