The company, which is half owned by Gazprom, sued Unicredit for about 450 million euros in August 2023 after the Italian bank refused to pay bank guarantees related to the project because of Western sanctions.
Unicredit filed a counter-suit in London, which prevents RusChemAlliance from continuing the business in Russia, based on the contract between the two parties, according to which any dispute must be resolved through arbitration in France.
RusChemAlliance tried to challenge this decision, but the appeal was rejected today by the High Court in London.
