Lukoil announced its disagreement with the arguments of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) in a claim for invalidation of the sale of 100% of Arkhangelskgeoldobycha in 2017. The company considers itself a good faith seller and notes that the transaction was approved by the government commission, which included the head of FAS, and the price of the asset was agreed by the parties with the involvement of major investment banks as consultants, which confirms the market nature of the transaction.
