Rosneft to Sue Yonhap Over Reports on Alleged Deliveries of Its Oil to North Korea

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russian oil giant Rosneft said it intended to go to court in connection with the publication of South Korean news agency Yonhap about the company’s alleged involvement in the deliveries of oil products to North Korea.

Yonhap reported that North Korean imports of petroleum products from Russia increased by 16 percent year-on-year in 2019 to about $24.8 million. According to the agency, these oil products were produced by two Russian companies, Rosneft and Gazprom.

Pyongyang has been subject to numerous UN sanctions over the past 10 years for its nuclear and ballistic missile tests.

The sanctions target North Korea’s exports of natural resources, such as coal, imports of weapons, oil, petroleum products and any financial and material support that could contribute to the development of the country’s missile or nuclear programs.
