BP says it remains committed to its stake in Russian oil firm after US imposes restrictions on Igor Sechin
BP’s partnership with Rosneft is again under the spotlight after the chairman of the Russian state-owned oil firm was added to the US government’s sanctions list.
Igor Sechin, credited with masterminding the tie-up with the UK-based oil and gas group from Moscow’s side, will be banned from entering the US, and his assets will be frozen.
