The Kremlin denies rumors about the oil company executive's donation: it was actually a decision made by another family.

[Kremlin Press Conference: Reports That CEO of Rosneft Proposed Donating to Special Military Operation Are Untrue]

At Moscow time on March 27, 2026, Dmitry Peskov, Deputy Head of the Presidential Executive Office and Kremlin Spokesperson, responded to questions from the Kremlin press corps:

The report that Igor Sechin, CEO of Rosneft, proposed donating funds from Russian enterprises to support the special military operation to Vladimir Putin yesterday is not true. In fact, during the meeting, one of the participants—though not Igor Sechin—did express his personal view that a very substantial amount of money should be allocated, which was a decision made by his family.
