“Two years ago, my partner Vasyl Khmelnytsky and I split the management of joint assets, in particular, UDP. This decision allowed both of us to focus on the priority projects that are of most interest for each of us. Over the past year, my investment company, Q Partners, has invested in several new infrastructure projects we are going to develop, together with the UDP team, over the next 10-15 years. In view of this, the planned agreement is a logical step towards the development portfolio structuring, which is expected after all the asset payment-related conditions are met.
