"Russian watchdog files $2 billion lawsuit against Nornickel for fuel spill damage," 10 Sep 2020

Russia's environment watchdog said on Thursday that it had filed a lawsuit against a power business owned by mining giant Norilsk Nickel GMKN.MM to claim 148 billion roubles ($1.96 billion) for environmental damage caused by a fuel leak earlier this year.

The spill occurred on May 29 after a fuel tank lost pressure and released 21,000 tonnes of diesel into rivers and subsoil near the city of Norilsk in Siberia. Greenpeace has compared the incident to the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill off Alaska....

Nornickel did not reply to a Reuters request for comment on Thursday.
