Ukrainian gas transportation system operator JSC Ukrtransgaz’s work has been blocked after its bank accounts were frozen in favor of companies linked to the oligarch clan known as disgraced ex-president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych’s “family.”

The State Executive Service of the Ministry of Justice blocked the accounts of JSC Ukrtransgaz and its branch Ukrgazenergoservis in pursuance of a ruling on a claim filed by Turbotrade LLC.
