In March 2022, as Western sanctions over Russia's actions in Ukraine started coming into force, Glencore said it would not enter into new trading business in respect of Russian-origin commodities unless directed by the relevant government authorities. It also said it would honour its legal obligations under pre-existing contracts, subject to complying with all applicable sanctions. Has equity investments in Rosneft and others. Glencore sold out of Russneft in 2022, capping two decades of investments which saw the Swiss commodities firm trading millions of barrels of the Russian group's oil even as it witnessed some of Russia's top corporate and political battles. Russia’s largest bank is attempting to seize some of Glencore Plc’s Russian assets as compensation for what it says is an unpaid oil trading debt.
