  • Buying Petroleum Products in Russia
    Buying Petroleum Products in Russia Buying petroleum products: beware fraud Be aware of fraudulent schemes that might affect potential petroleum products' buyers. Many Singapore companies are seeking out supply sources of petroleum products (among them mazut M-100, diesel D-2, jet fuel and others) from Russia in the Internet. There are lots of companies over there who claim to be ready to sell products of the Russian origin in high volumes on a long-term basis. Unfortunately, some of them are fake (fraudulent) companies using bogus documents and/or letterheads of corporate names of major Russian oil corporations (like Rosneft, LukOil etc.). Usually the fraudulent seller claims to be able to supply petroleum products in high volumes subject to advance payment of significant amount and/or some “mandatory” fees (like export license fee, title transfer fee, registration fee etc.). After receiving money they disappear without a trace. Russia is one of the world's major petroleum products exporter and the overwhelming majority of deals are made by the Russian Majors on long-term basis with their established partners. In case you find a broker in the Internet and did not happen to visit the company office in Russia or to know and trust the people behind it, please, bear in mind the following: - There are no export license requirements in Russia for petroleum products. So if your potential counterpart requests you to pay for an export license, it’s a scam. - The Russian laws do not provide for any title transfer fee for petroleum products. You might be interested to know that the only case in which you need to officially transfer your title for a property is selling/buying real estate.

    BRIEFING EXXONMOBIL PENALTY A S S E S S M E N T ILLUSTRATES PERILS O F DEALING WITH SANCTIONED OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS J U L Y 2 0 1 7 ● OFAC HAS ASSESSED A $2M PENALTY AGAINST EXXONMOBIL FOR VIOLATING RUSSIAN SANCTIONS ● THE COMPANY HAS DEALT WITH A SANCTIONED PERSON AT A COMPANY NOT ITSELF SUBJECT TO SANCTIONS. ● THE CASE IS A REMINDER TO EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN DEALING NOT JUST WITH COMPANIES BUT ALSO THEIR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. On July 20, 2017, the US Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Controls (OFAC) assessed a $2m penalty against US oil conglomerate ExxonMobil for its violation of US sanctions on Russia enacted in response to Russia’s 2014 intervention in Ukraine (the “Russia-Ukraine sanctions”). The penalty was assessed because of ExxonMobil’s dealings with a sanctioned officer of a Russian company, even though the company itself was not subject to these sanctions. ExxonMobil is challenging the assessment, and has filed suit to have the penalty set aside. The assessment illustrates the importance of diligence, representations and “US SANCTIONS covenants in dealings with not only counterparty companies, but also the company’s PROGRAMS CONTAIN officers and directors, as well as the limits of informal guidance in dealing with BROAD PROHIBITIONS sanctions.

  • Russian-Venezuelan Relations at a Crossroads Vladimir Rouvinski*
    Latin American Program | Kennan Institute | February 2019 President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela receives a book in Russian about Hugo Chávez from President Vladimir Putin of Russia. Photo by www.kremlin.ru / Creative Commons 4.0 Russian-Venezuelan Relations at a Crossroads Vladimir Rouvinski* Russia’s foreign policy is part of a complex tapestry intended to bolster its current president, Vladimir Putin. Moscow’s relations with Venezuela are a prime example of this strategy. Russian engagement with the Bolivarian Republic demonstrates Vladimir Putin’s global ambitions to recruit geographically distant nations as partners in constructing a new multipolar, anti-U.S. world order. The Russian government has learned to bolster domestic support for Putin at home by taking advantage of situations unfolding in the Russian “far abroad” as elements of a political spectacle portraying Russia’s return as a global power. Russia’s relationship with Venezuela is also a story of missed business opportunities, multi-million dollar risky investments, dubious personal enrichment, and vast corruption. It also features denials, by a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, of massive human rights violations in Venezuela in the name of “21st Century Socialism.” Three key aspects of interaction between Moscow and Caracas are essential to understand the Russia’s policy toward the region and Venezuela in particular. First is Russia’s “return” to Latin America toward the end of the 1990s and subsequent events LATIN AMERICAN PROGRAM LATIN AMERICAN PROGRAM leading to the present challenges. Second is the role of political priorities rather than business interests that comprise the true guiding principles of the Russian involvement in the key sectors of the Venezuelan economy such as oil and gas.
