VimpelCom said it would decide next month on whether to buy control of Yevroset Holding.
VimpelCom already owns a 49.9 percent stake in Yevroset and has yet to decide on whether to buy another 25 percent, VimpelCom spokeswoman Yelena Prokhorova said Friday. VimpelCom's exclusive right to buy the 25 percent stake in Yevroset expires Jan. 23, she said.
Alexander Mamut, who owns the rest of Yevroset, is seeking to sell his 50.1 percent stake, Kommersant reported late last week.

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.
