On 31 December 2009 at the height of the 2009 Russia–Ukraine gas dispute Yulia Tymoshenko allegedly forced him to sign the controversial gas contract under threat of being dismissed. During the same day he also said that "Ukraine could have lived on its underground storage gas through late February without buying gas from Russia, trying to convince Kremlin to reduce the price". Later on, he as a representative of Naftogaz was charged with abuse of office for signing pact with Gazprom.
