Rosneft plans to comment soon on an arbitration ruling that may allow BP to carry out their planned share swap if the British oil producer cedes its place in an Arctic exploration deal to its TNK-BP Russian venture, Rosneft spokesman Rustam Kazharov said on Tuesday.
"We will announce our position in the near future," Kazharov said.
TNK-BP's potential role in oil exploration in the Kara Sea project in the Arctic is subject to Rosneft's approval.

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.
