“Ukrtransgaz” in a dispute with “Naftogaz” uses the “correct” ATO militants, and “Naftogaz” uses ATO titushki soldiers against it.

Viktor Goncharov, chairman of the trade union of employees of the Ukrtransgaz management apparatus, stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Last year, when the team was just as excited, guys from the ATO came to us. Our engineers who fought there asked us to help them with some kind of rehabilitation. Without thinking twice, we made an organization for ATO soldiers so that they could improve their health and rehabilitate themselves - both their children and their wives. We have a boarding house in Western Ukraine where we send them regularly. We got 256 ATO specialists.
These guys came to me last year and asked: “How do you feel about the fact that NAC Neftegaz is mocking us? I say: “Let’s ask Mr. Kobolev this question.” We came to him. It was our workers who came, they worked for us, they went to the front, fought, came and continue to work. I told him, Kobolev, that we would come with our ATO soldiers. And what do you think? He met us and received us, this was in September last year. And he also brought ATO soldiers from Khreshchatyk. What did they fight for, “Naftogaz”? He brought the heads, chairmen of associations - who went through the ATO, the revolution. Some hundreds began to be named,” said a representative of Ukrtransgaz.
“Why invite people? I don't want to insult our patriots. They came out like titushki in our dispute. That is, we came as children to our father, to ask our father - what to do next, how should we live? And instead of telling us, he brings a formidable neighbor from behind the fence - look, these are ATO soldiers, Maidan soldiers, look, if anything happens, you’re ah-ah-ah.” That is, they are intimidating us,” Goncharov believes.
