Exxon Mobil's Operations in Russia
(Reuters) -U.S. oil major Exxon Mobil has no plans to resume operations in Russia, Chief Executive Darren Woods told the Financial Times in an interview on Thursday.
Background on Exxon's Exit
The company pulled out of Russia in 2022 after Western sanctions were imposed over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, writing off billions of dollars from its exit.
Current Discussions with Russian Officials
Exxon executives are in talks with Russian officials about recouping the $4.6 billion in assets expropriated by Moscow but not about investing in the country, the report said quoting Woods as saying.
Future Investment Plans
The talks began in early 2023, shortly after the company filed an arbitration case against President Vladimir Putin's government, the FT report said.
Exxon Mobil did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
