I.Sechin. US sanctions against Rosneft are illegal and groundless
The sanctions of the USA against Rosneft are illegal and unreasonable and, what is more, they hurt the interests of American partners. President of “Rosneft” I.Sechin says.
“The decision on the imposing of sanctions against Rosneft is illegal, personal, unreasonable, as the company has nothing to do with the Ukraine, he said. This decision hurt the interests of American shareholders of the companies and banks, which cooperate on credit agreements. It is very sad,” Sechin said.
According to him, as Rosneft is a major budget revenue generating company, the aim of the sanctions is not Rosneft, but an implementation of its own independent policy by Russia. Sechin named the efforts of the USA an “attempt to worsen the economy for Russian citizens.”
He has added that Rosneft needs to hold legal consulting and decide on follow-up actions. “We will do that in one of these days,” RBK writes, citing I.Sechin.
