Patrick Poianne, CEO of the French Oil and Gas Company “Total”, announced that the company has maintained its presence in Russia to ensure energy supplies to Europe.
“Everything is clear. We stayed in Russia to ensure supplies to Europe,” Boyanier told LCE.
He added: “We are guided by a simple principle. We do not violate the sanctions and gradually reduce our presence in Russia,” and our company only maintains activities related to energy supplies to Europe.
He considered that it is important to preserve the channels of dialogue with Russia, which France seeks.
He continued: “The only way to settle is to preserve the channels of dialogue with Russia open, which is what French President Emmanuel Macron does. ”
He stressed that “it is right despite the difficult circumstances. ”
He added: “We must trust the aspirations of our leader to help resolve the conflict that strongly affects us all. “.
