Russian oil-giant Lukoil registered a company in Malta a month before it invaded Ukraine

Russian oil-giant Lukoil registered a company in Malta in January of this year. Currently, Lukoil is using an oil refinery that it owns in Sicily to circumvent EU and US sanctions. It is unclear why Lukoil registered a company in Malta just right before it invaded Ukraine, but as soon I know I will let you know.

Malta was also against initial EU proposals to sanction the purchase of Russian oil.
