Ukraine accuses BP of receiving 'blood money' from war

Available for over a year

The chief economic adviser to Ukraine's president has warned BP that hundreds of millions of dollars earned from an investment in Russian energy company, Rosneft, amounts to 'blood money'. Oleg Ustenko has written to BP's chief executive, Bernard Looney, calling on it to use the money to establish a fund for Ukrainian victims of the war. BP insists it has not received any dividends from Rosneft and has written down the value of the assets to zero.
