GORKI, December 16. /TASS/. The Russian government will support at least two out of oil major Rosneft’s seven projects for financing from the National Welfare Fund, Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin said on Tuesday.

Rosneft will not give up the proejcts that will be financed from the National Welfare Fund, he added.

“According to information of the Economic Development Ministry, at least two projects related to the Far East development were supported,” he said, adding it was necessary to wait until final decisions were made.
