Russia sues Shell for $1.6 billion over unpaid gas and leaving a joint project post-Ukraine invasion.

Russia is suing Shell for about $1.6 billion over unpaid gas deliveries in 2022 and for withdrawing from a joint project after the invasion of Ukraine. A Moscow court is considering the claim filed by Russian prosecutors, which also seeks to declare Shell's exit from the Sakhalin-2 project illegal. Shell, which left the Russian market in 2022, says the case's outcome and financial impact are uncertain.
