MOSCOW, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir
Putin had a conversation with Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin last week
during a visit by Kazakhstan's president to Moscow, state media
reported on Sunday.
Sechin, who once worked alongside Putin in the former
imperial capital of St Petersburg and later under the president
in the Kremlin, has run Rosneft since 2012.
U.S. President Donald Trump last month imposed
Ukraine-related sanctions on Russia for the first time in his
second term, targeting Rosneft and Lukoil.
