Rosneft said Monday that it would abide by a Dutch court decision seeking 12.9 billion rubles ($420 million) related to the seizure of Yukos.
“The company believed its position would be carefully studied by the high court in Netherlands, which unfortunately didn’t happen,” Rosneft said. “This won’t affect the company’s execution of the court decision.”
The Supreme Court of the Netherlands on June 25 denied a Rosneft unit’s appeal against a ruling to repay loans granted before Russia seized and sold off Yukos Oil, Yukos Capital, which is run by former Yukos Oil management, said in an e-mailed statement that day.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
