The remark was made after the Nikkei newspaper reported last week that Japan and France have frozen new investment in the Arctic LNG 2 as financial institutions have not been able to remit the money due to sanctions imposed on Russia. 

The project's shareholders are Novatek (60%), France's TotalEnergies (10%), Japan Arctic LNG, a consortium of Mitsui & Co and JOGMEC (10%), CNPC (10%) and CNOOC (10%).
