"All legitimate interests of companies in global trade must be respected, violations are unacceptable and harmful, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said commenting on the situation with oil major Lukoil, APA's Moscow bureau reports.

"We believe that all legitimate interests of such a large international company, which is also a Russian one, like Lukoil, must be respected in terms of international trade and economic relations. Violations in this area are unacceptable and harm the global trade regime. It is a very large player in the global market. But, on the other hand, this issue doesn't really concern the Kremlin. After all, this is more a matter of commercial relations and illegal trade restrictions from the perspective of international law," he noted.

Asked whether these moves would affect negotiations on Ukraine, Peskov said no. "These are completely different dimensions," he said.
