Ukraine has warned Irish oil company Petrel Resources about its plan to develop an energy project with Russian monopoly Gazprom in Crimea, Ukrainian territory currently subject to international sanctions since annexation by the Kremlin in 2014.
Ukraine’s embassy in Ireland warned that Petrel’s proposal to set up a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Crimea with Gazprom may undermine international efforts to contain Russian aggression in Ukraine.
