According to the source, Pynzenyk submitted his statement on February 13–16. The main motivation, according to the source, is Pynzenyk's disagreement with the latest gas agreements between Ukraine and Russia.
Sources from "Ukrainska Pravda" among Pynzenyk's political allies confirmed the information about his resignation.
At the same time, another ally of Pynzenyk said that instead of resignation, the finance minister may be granted leave.
"As far as I know, it all ended with leave, which was given to Viktor Mykhailovych until the end of the election campaign," he said.
As is known, on February 2, NAK "Naftogaz Ukrainy" and "RosUkrEnergo" created a joint enterprise, the closed joint-stock company "Ukrgaz-Energo," for gas supplies to Ukraine.
At the same time, "Ukrgaz-Energo" and "RosUkrEnergo" signed a contract for gas supplies to Ukraine at $95 per thousand cubic meters until 2011.
