Business community in the West is not interested in escalation of tensions with Russia.
The head of Gazprom Oil Alexander Dyukov stated this at the meeting with journalists. "In general, businesses in the West do not understand all this hysteria and anti-Russian rhetoric. They, certainly, are not interested in any escalation of tensions," he said, telling about his informal conversations with partners. Dyukov believes that the sanctions – if there will be any – are unlikely to seriously affect production and business activities of the company. He said that even after the sanctions were announced, Gazprom Neft have organized a club loan selection, involving an American bank as one of the organizers. Regarding financing of production and economic activity, – continues to head of Gazprom Neft, – a part of the funds that we will need in 2014 were raised by the company in 2013.
