Support at every stage: how Ukrnafta is building its work with veterans

9 May , 2025  

Veterans policy is one of Ukrnafta’s strategic priorities. The company is developing a systematic program to support veterans and military personnel with a view to the future.

On the sidelines of the Veterans Reintegration Conference, Serhii Koretskyi, Director of PJSC Ukrnafta, spoke about Ukrnafta’s practical experience in reintegrating defenders into the working environment.

“In total, the company has donated almost UAH 3 billion for the needs of the military. This includes weapons, armored vehicles, drones, pickups, and other equipment,” Serhiy Koretsky noted. ”Of Ukrnafta’s 20,000 employees, almost a thousand have been mobilized. Unfortunately, 43 of our colleagues have died. May their memory live on forever, and may we honor these heroes. More than 500 veterans have returned to work. In other words, the company has extensive experience in this area. It also has the capacity and a sincere desire to help. We must always remember that business must do everything possible to ensure that our defenders feel comfortable in their working environment. I would like to thank the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs of Ukraine, the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, and Korn Ferry for drawing attention to this important issue. I would also like to thank my colleagues who are creating a space adapted for veterans.

Ukrnafta’s main principle is to support veterans and military personnel at every stage. Salaries are paid on time. The company takes care of mobilized colleagues and their families by providing legal, psychological, and rehabilitation support. It helps its partner units. In fact, it acts as a patronage service.

Ukrnafta veterans are given the opportunity to retrain if necessary.

For veteran businesses, the company offers the opportunity to join the UKRNAFTA network, the largest single-brand network of gas stations in Ukraine.

Ukrnafta is Ukraine’s largest oil producer and operator of a national network of gas stations. In March 2024, the company took over the management of Glusco’s assets and now operates a total of 546 gas stations, 462 of which it owns and 84 of which it manages.

The company is implementing a comprehensive program to restore operations and upgrade the format of its network of gas stations. Since February 2023, it has been issuing its own fuel vouchers and NAFTAKarta cards, which are sold to legal entities and individuals through Ukrnafta-Postach LLC.

The largest shareholder of Ukrnafta is Naftogaz of Ukraine with a 50%+1 share.

In November 2022, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to transfer the corporate rights of the company, which were owned by private owners and are currently managed by the Ministry of Defense, to the state.
