Yuriy Boyko (Ukrainian: Юрій Анатолійович Бойко) is a Ukrainian politician, former Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine, and a former Minister of Fuel and Energy of Ukraine.
Yuriy Boyko was born on 9 October 1958, in Horlivka, Donetsk Oblast. He is married, together with his wife Vera he is raising 6 children. Boyko plays ice hockey, football, likes waterskiing and windsurfing. Allegedly Boyko and controversial businessman Dmytro Firtash "are close associates".
In 1981 Boyko graduated from the Moscow Institute of Chemical Technology named after Dmitry Mendeleev (with qualification of chemical engineer), and in 2001 he graduated from East-Ukrainian University (with qualification of engineer-economist).
Boyko was deputy Minister of Fuel and Energy in the cabinet of Viktor Yanukovych (21 November 2002 – 7 December 2004). Late July 2004 he was appointed in a coordination committee for RosUkrEnergo. On April 23, 2005 Boyko was elected the Chairman of the Republican Party of Ukraine (RPU). During Ukrainian parliamentary elections in 2006, the RPU joined the Opposition Bloc "Ne Tak!", yet they did not succeed to reach the 3% election threshold required by law. In the summer of 2005 President Viktor Yushchenko prevented Boyko to be arrested for abuse of office while heading Naftogaz. This arrest had been ordered by Security Service of Ukraine Chairman Oleksandr Turchynov. On 4 August 2006, he was appointed the Minister of Fuel and Energy (in the government of Viktor Yanukovych). On 18 December 2007 Boyko was dismissed as Minister of Fuel and Energy of Ukraine due to the election to the 6th parliamentary elections.
November 2007 - March 2010 - People's Deputy of Ukraine, the 6th convocation of Verkhovna Rada, elected from the Party of Regions in the Ukrainian parliamentary elections in 2007.
