First and foremost, Ukrnafta is its people — professionals across a wide range of trades and specialisms, whose day-to-day work drives the company’s results and strengthens the country’s energy resilience.

To mark Oil, Gas and Oil Refining Industry Workers’ Day, colleagues from across the company were honoured with awards from Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy and the Verkhovna Rada.
