Putin associate's father takes stake in Rosneft Arctic contractor

The move signals potential elite enrichment and influence consolidation around a strategic energy asset, though the exact stake size and financial terms remain undisclosed. This follows a pattern of Kremlin-linked figures gaining stakes in sanctioned or high-value Russian energy infrastructure.
