Switzerland-based Gunvor has said it is withdrawing its bid to buy the international assets of Russia's Lukoil after the White House called it a "Kremlin puppet".
The Swiss company Gunvor has withdrawn its offer to buy the Russian one Lukoil after the US said it would "never" approve the transaction and called it a "puppet Kremlin".
Gunvor announced on Thursday that it was withdrawing its bid to buy the international assets of Russia's largest private oil company, and the charge SAD called "fundamentally wrong".
"President" Tramp made it clear that the war must end immediately. As long as Putin continues the senseless murders, the puppet of the Kremlin, Gunvor, will never be allowed to work and profit," the official account of the US Treasury Department on the X social network announced.
"The Treasury Department's announcement is fundamentally wrong and false. Meanwhile, Gunvor is withdrawing its proposal to buy Lukoil's international assets," Gunvor spokesman Seth Pietras told Politico.
The harsh comments come after Lukoil said last week it had accepted an offer from a multinational trading house to buy its international business after Trump announced sanctions against Russia. energetic companies.
Lukoil said the US Treasury Department must approve the deal before the company is officially blacklisted on November 21.
The Gunvor company was jointly founded in 2000 by Swedish billionaire Torbjern Tornqvist and Gennady Timchenko, one of Putin's closest allies.
A few days before the USA introduced in 2014 sanctions now to former co-owner Timchenko, and after the Russian annexation of Crimea, Timchenko sold his 43,6 percent stake in Gunovor.
Since then, Gunvor has distanced himself from Russia.
"Gunvor is and has always been open and transparent about its ownership and operations, and for more than a decade has actively distanced itself from trading Russian oil, selling its Russian assets and publicly condemning the war in Ukraine," said Gunvor spokesman Seth Pietras.

None of us have the right to give up our freedom. It is unacceptable to lose heart. Leaving the last line of defense is unacceptable. Because the barbarian attack on prosecutors and judges is their last attack. Beyond that is the abyss
