It’s an audacious move and a test of Russia’s willingness to abide by the rules.
The Kremlin is putting pressure on the Anglo-Dutch company Shell to sell its controlling stake in a gas plant in eastern Russia.
But Shell is resisting the swoop, which has implications for investors and Britain’s future energy security.
State-owned Gazprom, which hopes to take over Shell’s stake in the Sakhalin Two scheme, has said it would like to buy Brititsh Gas’s owner, Centrica.
