In a break with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia’s second largest oil company called for the country’s invasion in Ukraine to end, joining a growing list of organizations, in and outside of Russia, urging for peace.
“The Board of Directors of LUKOIL expresses herewith its deepest concerns about the tragic events in Ukraine. Calling for the soonest termination of the armed conflict, we express our sincere empathy for all victims, who are affected by this tragedy,” Lukoil’s board of directors said in a statement on Thursday.
“We strongly support a lasting ceasefire and a settlement of problems through serious negotiations and diplomacy,” the statement continued.
The board of directors added that the company would try to continue its operations in all countries and regions where it currently has a presence.
The development comes, however, as the White House and some lawmakers are at odds over whether to block or limit Russian oil imports.
