25 milliárd dollár veszteség. Bevállalták, mert muszáj volt.
“As British business face pressure to untangle themselves from Russian links after the invasion of Ukraine, one of Britain’s biggest companies, BP, said on Sunday it had decided to exit its 19.75 % stake in Russian oil giant Rosneft. It is a significant move that could cost the company up to $25bn, according to figures in its own statement.
BP chief executive Bernard Looney, who will step down from the Rosneft board with Bob Dudley, former chief executive, said the invasion “caused us to fundamentally rethink BP’s position with Rosneft.” He said he had been “deeply shocked and saddened” by the situation. BP has owned almost a fifth of the oil giant since 2013 and it accounted for half of the oil reserves that BP had in the ground, the Guardian understands.
BP’s chair, Helge Lund, said: “Russia’s attack on Ukraine is an act of aggression which is having tragic consequences across the region. BP has operated in Russia for over 30 years, working with brilliant Russian colleagues. However, this military action represents a fundamental change.”
