This is the second episode of УТ-2's "Kyiv Regime" format, featuring an interview with Andriy Kobolev, former head of Naftogaz. The conversation covers a wide range of topics, including Ukraine's gas situation, the "mineral deal" with the US, dealing with Donald Trump, the prospects of Russian gas transit, and Kobolev's current ventures in alternative energy and mental health.
The Mineral Deal: Kobolev views the mineral deal as a significant opportunity, emphasizing the importance of a long-term perspective and understanding the motivations of all parties involved (particularly Trump's desire for glory). He suggests linking the deal to security agreements for greater success.
Negotiating with Trump: The key to negotiating with Trump is understanding his focus on short-term gains and glory. Offering small concessions while pursuing long-term strategic goals is recommended.
Ukraine's Post-War Economic Future: Kobolev emphasizes the need for a strong military and a robust economy post-war, suggesting that securing foreign military contingents as a security umbrella could be crucial for this.
Rule of Law in Ukraine: Improving faith in Ukraine's rule of law is vital for attracting foreign investment. Key reforms are needed in the judicial system, tax system, and civil service, including increased salaries for civil servants to attract competent individuals.
Naftogaz's Challenges: Kobolev identifies Naftogaz's biggest challenge as short-term thinking and highlights the significant financial and logistical hurdles facing the next CEO. He also discusses the successes and challenges of Ukрнафта, attributing its improvement partly to nationalization.
Kobolev's Current Projects: Kobolev's current projects involve alternative energy (including small modular reactors) and a mental health company, Healthy Mind, that uses data-driven approaches to assess and improve mental well-being.
