The chairman of the board of Russia’s largest private oil company Lukoil - one of the only Russian businesses to criticise the invasion of Ukraine - has died. The country’s news agencies have cited sources saying he had fallen from a hospital window in what may have been a suicide.
A Lukoil statement said Ravil Maganov had “passed away after a severe illness” but did not give further details. Russian news reports said his body was found in the grounds of the Central Clinical Hospital, where Russia’s political and business elite are often treated.
He appeared to have fallen from a sixth-storey window, the reports said, although The Telegraph reports there are apparently no CCTV cameras in the area where it happened because of ongoing renovation work.
