Novolipetsk Steel has asked the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry's international commercial tribunal to suspend a claim for 5.9 billion rubles ($201 million) against Nikolai Maximov, founder of steel mini-mill developer Maxi Group, Novolipetsk Steel said in a statement Tuesday.
The Moscow Arbitration Court is due on Feb. 19 to hear a bankruptcy case that Novolipetsk Steel filed against Maxi Group and, if bankruptcy is granted, the ruling could serve as additional grounds for the chamber's claim, Novolipetsk Steel said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
