A Russian company, Novatek, secretly funded a billion-dollar gas project in the U.S., raising concerns about sanctions violations. This funding was discussed during U.S.-Russia negotiations regarding the Ukraine war. Former Polar LNG CEO John Riddle resigned after discovering the hidden ties to Novatek, which he believed undermined U.S. interests. Novatek aimed to become a minority shareholder in Polar LNG, amidst ongoing U.S. sanctions against Russia. The situation reflects broader energy deals being pursued by the Trump administration with Russia, despite escalating attacks on Ukraine.
