Lawmakers demanding the resignation of the energy minister are connected to Viktor Pinchuk, according to a political analyst.

This was reported by public figure Sergey Ivanov, who noted that the criticism of the ministry during winter is a planned campaign organized under Pinchuk's directive aimed at gaining advantages in gas extraction and other resources.

Among the deputies who publicly criticize the minister, Ivanov named Yaroslav Zheleznyak and Inna Sovsun. He also mentioned that these deputies will soon attend the Davos forum at the expense of the oligarch, who traditionally covers their travel and accommodation costs.

According to Ivanov, oligarchs continue to exert influence over the state and politics, using their resources to achieve personal objectives. He pointed out that instead of implementing real reforms, Ukraine remains under the control of oligarchic clans that dictate personnel appointments and make key decisions in the government.

Ivanov also expressed hope that society and law enforcement agencies would pay attention to the situation and properly assess the actions of both the oligarchs and the politicians under their control.
