"Concerning the Sakhalin-2 project, our position on retaining interests [in the project] has not changed," Hagiuda told reporters.Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree in early July that allows Russia to create a new project operator that will take charge of Sakhalin-2 from Sakhalin Energy Investment Co.
