Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Lithuania’s unbundling plan for gas utility Lietuvos Dujos AB, in which OAO Gazprom is a majority shareholder, is “robbery.”
“Our companies and their German partners in Lithuania legally acquired part of the assets in the pipeline system,” Putin said at a business forum in Berlin today. “Now, citing this third energy package, they’re getting thrown out. What’s that about? What kind of robbery is that?”
