The Russian Federation secretly financed the American gas project in Alaska, - Financial Times.

The Russian "Novatek" company financed and secretly controlled the American gas project Polar Train LNG worth 25 billion dollars in Alaska. The project management left the company. The company's former CEO, Joel Riddle, told the newspaper about concerns about a possible violation of American sanctions. Polar Train LNG is developing an export gas terminal in northern Alaska. The project was launched in March with a plan to use the partially built Novatek terminal, moving it to Alaska. "I resigned as CEO of Polar LNG because I was concerned that the Russian company Novatek was funding the company and ultimately controlling its strategic direction," Riedel said. According to FT interlocutors, the project appeared in negotiations between Washington and Moscow regarding business agreements that could contribute to the end of Russia's war against Ukraine. The exchange of Novatek's expertise to build a terminal in Alaska to lift the sanctions on the Russian Arctic LNG-2 was discussed. And we are on Facebook, Instagram, X, Tik-Tok, YouTube.
