“The press service of PJSC NK Rosneft informs about the resignation from the post of a member of the board of directors of the company received from Ms. Karin Kneissl.

The statement indicates that it comes into force on May 20, ”the company said.

The document also contains a refusal to extend Kneisl's powers on the company's board of directors for a second term.

Karin Kneissl joined the board of directors of Rosneft in June 2021.

Also on May 20, Gerhard Schroeder and Matthias Warnig announced the impossibility of extending their powers on the board of directors of Rosneft.

As Spiegel reported, earlier in the European Parliament they insisted on including Schroeder on the sanctions list if he retains his posts in Russian companies.
