The judge ruled that the amount of compensation should be considered separately during a damage assessment procedure.
Yukos International, a company affiliated with the former Yukos shareholders, is seeking $333 million in damages, plus costs and interest since February 7, 2011 from Rosneft.
Yukos International claims it was damaged as the court in Amsterdam ordered its bank account to be seized in 2008, which was linked to the bankruptcy of its parent company Yukos and subsequent liquidation.
Yukos was declared bankrupt by a Moscow court of arbitration back in 2006. The company's managers claimed the Russian government had illegally forced the energy company out of business, which allowed Rosneft to snap up its assets and become the country’s largest oil producer.
