OREANDA-NEWS Large oil companies may enter Crimea, the head of the republic, Sergey Aksenov, said.

"Compared to the Krasnodar Territory, we expect that our situation (with fuel costs – ed.) will even out with the arrival of large vertically integrated companies, which today, unfortunately, are not present on the territory of the Republic of Crimea," Aksyonov said on the Crimean 24 TV channel.

According to him, the absence of large oil traders means missed opportunities for Crimea.
