YUKOS likely to go bankrupt

YUKOS is likely to go bankrupt or to lose its core assets, expert with Rosbank Pavel Suprunov told RBC. At the same time, the government is not concerned much about possible tax losses that suspension of oil production by Yuganskneftegas may cause.

The only thing that is obvious now is that the main aim of a campaign against YUKOS is the controlling stake in the company, which Mikhail Khodorkovsky is not going to give up. Probably, a forced sale of Yuganskneftegas will make him more amenable but anyway, it may take place not earlier than at the end of this year. As such, Khodorkovsky has time to think it over.
