BP shares in Kremlin oil firm are ‘blood money’, says Zelenskiy adviser

British oil giant had said it would exit Russia' but still owns nearly 20% of state-controlled fossil fuel firm Rosneft

The chief economic adviser to the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has called on BP to exit Russia entirely after the fossil fuel firm was offered a 580m dividend by the oil giant Rosneft.

Oleg Ustenko has written to BP's chief executive, Bernard Looney, to demand the British company cuts ties with the state-controlled Russian firm nine months after announcing its intention to leave the country.
