Moscow, Russia — Russian oil giant Lukoil on Thursday called for an immediate halt to fighting in Ukraine, one of the first major domestic firms to speak out against Moscow’s invasion of its pro-Western neighbor.
The board “expresses its concern over the ongoing tragic events in Ukraine and its deepest sympathy to all those affected by this tragedy,” the company said in a statement. “We stand for the immediate cessation of the armed conflict and fully support its resolution through the negotiation process and through diplomatic means,” its note added.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has pressed ahead with his assault against Ukraine, which he announced last week despite warnings from the West

IIRC, the president of Lukoil made the mistake of opposing Putin a few years back and spent a couple of years in prison because of it.

Good for Lukoil. The oil companies run that country the way our oil companies do. Who cares. No war.

the members of "the board" of Lukoil, each one of them, might just have a visit from those guys from KGB in the very, very near future

In related news, on March 7th, the entire board of directors of Lukoil will sadly be involved in traffic accidents and die.
You think Arkanicide is dangerous here in the USA to people that cross the Clintons, you should try to cross Putin in Russia. I'm betting it won't lead to a long and healthy life!!!

Does anyone really care what Lukoil has to say? Putin is OK so long as Nike stays on their side!

Did Hitler stop? Putin won’t either until forced to. His ego will not allow him to stop moving forward. I am not advocating that we try and stop him but it is good when people speak out against him. It does put pressure on him and who knows, he may crack if some reports we have heard are true. Wouldn’t it be ironic if he and Biden were leading their respective countries while both being mentally unstable? The world is so crazy now, not much would shock me. Whether he is or is not mentally impaired, he should to stop this vicious aggression. I fear he is feeling the pressure from around the world and that will only stiffen his resolve. Dictators are like that. I can’t see him willingly stopping his invasion. What a mess this is! Global warming is not going to get us, but good old fashioned aggression by a dictator may.

The president of Lukoil should be looking for a deep hole to hide in. Putin does take kindly to unwanted advice.

I’m not as pessimistic as everyone else seems to be, but then I’ve always been an optimist. The Russian people are against this war. The Russian soldiers are against this war. They are hungry and pitifully supplied with garbage equipment. If Lukoil joins up with other Russian oil companies, the military generals, the troops and the population, they may be able to remove Putin. He can’t fight Ukraine and all of Russia at the same time.
It may be pie in the sky, but that is my current prayer.

I'm with #12. Hitler didn't have the whole world against him. Many in England and even the US were sympathizers. The policy towards him was hands-off, not our problem. Putin miscalculated but he does have the strength to destroy Ukraine. Ancient writings call that a pyrrhic victory.

Maybe a crack here...
This could snowball throughout other Industries and be something good. Pray.

If ever there was question as to Putin's mental state...this attack on the nuclear facility is the answer...he's going for broke...no matter who gets hurt...this should alert the world as to who WE are dealing with...and I remember Bongino saying on his radio program...why is china telling their people to stock up on necessities...were they expecting a nuclear problem...so close to Russia and the Ukraine...the fall out from the plants would sweep across china...I think the chi/coms knew Putin was going to attack the nuclear facility...and they were preparing their people...just a thought...

If history has taught us anything, it is that no one is above assassination. It might be smart for the local henchmen who are supporting Pootey-poot to give him the heave ho.
No point in having millions & billions of dollars if you can't spend it!

The Luk Oil CEO and its board can expect to spend more years of their lives in the russkie gulag for saying what they said. Putie is going to finish his invasion his way while the rest of the world either sits on its hands or springs into action. No, I'm not advocating for WWIII. Rather restoration of leadership particularly in our country couldn't come at a better time. A military war is not the only type of war available to the west.
A couple of questions to our dims and deep state, Pence, CJ Roberts, Turtle, AG Barr, the chicoms, Iran, and any local election officials who contributed to the Great Election Fraud of 2020 - was your little election fraud scheme to remove Trump really worth what we are witnessing today in Amerika and especially now in Ukraine? How is today's collapse of American leadership moving the country forward?
It took years before Hitler finally took himself out while WWII raged on. I don't see Putie jumping off any high buildings any time soon unless he has a terminal illness we are not aware of. He knows perfectly well what he is doing. He isn't going nuts. From his KGB days to today, he has always been this evil. The satanic forces within him are in control for the time being.
Short of Divine Intervention at this stage, I sure hope the way forward described by #12 becomes reality.

Seems quite a few very rich Russians have left the country over the last few days. I suspect they are taking their money and running, and they're not heading to China. Putin has a vision of what Russia was like fifty years ago. The average Russian not so much. What one doesn't hear so much is the growing protests over this invasion in Russian cities. Lukoil oil execs are just joining the thousands of ordinary Russian citizens that want this to stop. The military commanders also never told the soldiers what was going on. The Russian soldiers thought they were going on maneuvers. Not invading a country.

I agree with #14 - maybe a crack in the armor of adoph putin, the more Russians speak out against this criminal war the better. Will these lead to any de-escalation of war? Who knows but it can't hurt!

Yesterday, WION news (India-owned) had a short segment on Lukoil, mentioning that franchised US gas station were American-owned and we could be hurting ourselves with restrictions. Then they interviewed one of the station owners, who had a strong Russian-sounding accent. Ruined their whole bit.

Putin can safely ignore Lukoil since Biden has his back, preventing America from becoming energy independent again.
