Russia's Rosneft expects no claims in Yukos ruling

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's top oil producer Rosneft said on Monday that it expected no claims to be made against the company in connection with a Hague court ruling that has awarded some $50 billion (29.45 billion pounds) to ex-shareholders of defunct oil firm Yukos. Rosneft also said in a statement it was not a defendant in the case and that the ruling would not have a negative impact on its "commercial activity and assets". Rosneft bought the bulk of Yukos assets though auctions after the company was declared bankrupt. (Reporting by Vladimir Soldatkin; Editing by Alison Williams)
