At the same time, the government will conduct an “environmental, technological and other audit” of the activities of a foreign company in Russia for the presence of damage from it, and the amount of this damage will be debited from a type “C” account.

Until the valuation is completed, the shareholder will not be able to dispose of the proceeds from the sale of the share.

“Funds in an amount equal to the amount of the damage caused are debited from a type “C” account opened in the name of a company shareholder associated with foreign legal entities (their branches) and (or) individuals who ... are liable for damages," the decree signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin says.

On June 30, the Russian president signed a decree on the application of special economic measures in the fuel and energy sector in connection with the unfriendly actions of a number of countries.

According to the decree, the government will create a Russian LLC, which will transfer the rights and obligations of the operator of the Sakhalin-2 project, Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd.
