One of Russia’s richest men, the president of Lukoil, the country’s second-largest oil company, has resigned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In a brief statement Thursday Lukoil said Vagit Alekperov had informed the company of his decision that he was resigning as the company’s CEO and president.<\/p>\n

Lukoil gave no further details as to why the resignation came, but the announcement comes days after Alekperov was sanctioned by the UK and 7 weeks after the company came out against Vladimir Putin telling him to end the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

According to Reuters, Alekperova had decided to resign after the sanctions were imposed to protect the interests of the company.<\/p>\n

Lukoil produces more than 2 percent of crude oil globally, and employs more than 100,000 people.<\/p>\n

It operates in dozens of countries and is the second largest oil company in Russia after state-owned giant Rosneft. According to Bloomberg, Alekperov is worth about $ 16 billion.<\/p>\n

Lukoil shares in Moscow have lost approximately 28% of their value since the occupation. They fell more than 2% on Thursday.<\/p>\n
