Changi in Russian Deal

Singapore's Changi Airport said Friday that it has teamed up with Sberbank and Basic Element Group to invest in Russian airports.

Oleg Deripaska's Basic Element will hold 50 percent plus one share in the venture. Changi Airport unit Changi Airports International will take 30 percent, while Sberbank will hold 20 percent minus one share.

Basic Element will contribute to the joint venture shares of the airports in the Krasnodar region, including airports of Sochi, Krasnodar, Anapa and Gelendzhik. The total value of the assets exceeds $500 million, Changi said. Changi operates Singapore's main airport and has stakes in various airports around the world, including Italy's Aeroporti di Roma.

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.
