The Cabinet of Ministers has made a decision to appoint members to the supervisory boards of two state companies in the fuel and energy sector - JSC “NNEGC “Energoatom”. Dominique Mineur and Matthew Murray have been appointed as independent members of the supervisory board of JSC “NNEGC “Energoatom”.

On July 1, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted an order titled "Issues of the Supervisory Board of the Joint Stock Company 'National Nuclear Energy Generating Company Energoatom,'" which elected Dominique Mineur and Matthew Murray as independent members of the supervisory board.
The candidates were selected to replace Patrick Fragman and Brice Yves Andre Bouillon, who in May 2026 submitted early termination requests of their powers at their own will (effective May 30 and 31, respectively). Patrick Fragman's decision to resign early is related to new professional commitments, including a full-time job offer.

Thus, the full composition of the Supervisory Board is now formed.
