Russia is making renewed attempts to win Japanese support for Russian investment in the $20bn (£10.6bn) Shell-led Sakhalin oil and gas project offshore Siberia to ease diplomatic tensions.
Alexander Losyukov, Russia’s ambassador to Japan, said in Tokyo the project would advance faster if Gazprom, the state-controlled gas business, had a stake in the consortium, which currently has Shell (55pc) and two Japanese corporations, Mitsui and Mitsubishi (45pc combined) as partners.
Russia’s decision to revoke environmental permits has unnerved western investors and produced protests from the EU and Japan plus Britain’s ambassador in Tokyo. Shinzo Abe, Japan’s prime minister elect, has warned that a major delay could damage diplomatic relations. Mr Losyukov said that if Gazprom became a partner the project might be able to start earlier, an argument disputed by the current partners. He said that Russia did not intend to halt the development but the environment could not be sacrificed.
Shell has rejected claims that it had violated the terms of the environmental agreement which involves protecting feeding grounds of gray whales and breeding grounds.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
